Why would the front driver side wheel on a 1994 Chevy Caprice lean out?

That's what an alignment is for. Take it in to a good front end shop that does nothing else! Don't go to a dealer or a tire shop. They won't really be doing what's in your best interest, they just want to sell parts. A good front end shop will know how to make the repairs without spending a lot of your money, and they usually end up doing a better job.

Could also be a Ball Joint gone bad.

Can a 31 inch tire go on a 30 inch rim?

No. The 'inch' figure for tires is related to the diameter of the interior 'hole' in the tire while the figure for wheels is linked to the outside diameter of the wheel. Trying to fit a 31 inch tire on a 30 inch rim would result in a 1/2 inch gap all the way around between the tire and wheel.

Is it safe to Drive while steering wheel vibrates?

Not surprisingly, it depends, if the steering wheel vibrates all the time, no. IT could be a whole bunch of things. If it just vibrates at a certain speed range, roughly 50 to 70 mph, it is probably the tracking on your tires (or at least that's worth checking as it is a cheap procedure).

Either way, if it makes you feel unsafe whilst driving the car, then don't drive it.

Look for unusual wear patterns like cupping, flat spots, and more wear on one side more than another as these indicate an suspension or balance issue that must be corrected.
