porsche 911 rims on an fd?

does anyone know if the new porsche 911 or boxter rims would fit on an fd? They are 17x7 or maybe 8 in front and definitely 17x9 in rear. Also I am totally against doing anything that will slow my car down. Anyone know if the porsche tires are lower profile than the fd. And anyone know if there is much of a weight difference? lug pattern?

The Tire Rack has SO2pp's in 245/45ZR16 for $151 a tire. I paid $634 for a set of four and shipping and love them. An amazing deal for a kick-*** tire.
