This really, really REALLY isn't that hard.
The lower the offset, the more the wheels stick out toward or past the fender. The higher the offset, the further recessed they are in.
For example: a 20x10 wheel with a +15 offset sticks out further than one with +30 offset
Width has a similar effect because . . . well, the wheel is fuckin' wider. Same offset, wider wheel, the outside edge goes further away from the hub and toward or past the fender
The offset and widths i suggest work because . . . plenty of people have ACTUALLY USED THEM BEFORE AND THEY WORK:

Customer didnt tell me his suspension setup. But it does look to be stock height. So this should give you an idea. But I have sold plenty of wheel setup similar to this and you will be fine with your 1 inch drop. It will be a little inside fender. He also got a set of the Black/Blue center caps and the new Project Kics Monolith lugs from us as well.

Two examples of 19x9.5 +22 and 19x10.5 +12 (close enough to 11, +15) at different heights
Unless the chassis is brand spanking new, OR you are running super aggressive sizing with super low stance and some sort of fender modes (roll/pull/wide fender), there is no need to break out a tape measure and get under your car and measure ****.
Just look at what other people have done and copy the one you like best. It ain't rocket science, and every single year and every single trim of Z has the same fender (except the newer Nismos which have the stupid fender flare that needs to be removed first)
And from others examples you can use as a baseline to find what you want
Your car sees no track time
Your car doesn't have coilovers and adjustable arms, and it doesn't seem like you care to add those parts
Your fenders are not rolled or pulled
You have the most conservative setup imaginable
Get the simplest fitment
If you REALLY tripping about the sizes i suggested being in the "red zone", just add 5 mm to each. You car won't look good either way at your height, so what the heck! Go even safer!
and for $2k you can probably get close to a used set of TE37's with better looks, less weight, and more strength than that Savini luxury wheel POS
