If you're planning on staying at stock height, pushing the wheels out further and further will look pretty terrible IMO. Not only that, you won't need any (severe) negative camber because it's highly unlikely that the wheels on your car, even while poking 2", will come into contact with the fender because the car doesn't have that much suspension travel.
I'd suggest lowering your car first, then going from there. But, I'll let OZ chime in...

All stock suspension and height...may go with some Fortune Auto coilovers before I go and spend dough on yet-another-set-of-wheels. When I learn how to sh!t out money, I'll let my Z community know the secret...

Your definition of meaty
DPE_G ran 20x11+0 with 285 at -2 camber
He had room to spare
my guess is that 19x11 -13 will be too far out for stock body and your definition of “meaty”, unless maybe you go air.
As a side note, I think you’re incorrectly fixated on the concept of “negative offsets”. Offset is only meaningful in conjunction with width
You could run a 19x10 with “negative offset” of -13 but obviously that sits differently than 19x11 -13. Its really just math
My suggestion is to find the stance you like, based on how the wheel/tire sits, the height, and the camber, and worry less about whether the offset is ‘’negative”
It’s like going to KFC ordering a six piece meal. IT HAS TO BE SIX PIECES. Well, six pieces of drums ain’t the same as six pieces of fish. Or breasts. Or shrimp
Isn’t it way better to decide what protein you want and how much food, then pick the meal that gets you that than fixating on the number of items?
EDIT:
seems like you’ve gone through multiple sets of very expensive wheels which tells me you aren’t a broke boy. I’d spend that cash on good coilovers and the full SPL catalog and then you can play with whatever sizing you want. Before ordering a custom spec 3pc wheel like the meister u can set your height and use different spacers and your existing wheel/tires to check for clearance. Find the spec u want then order that

I wasn't necessarily fixated on the the negative offset, I was just trying to maximize the lip. The normal "safe" choice for the Meister M1s would be +13 offset, but I was just pushing the envelope a little (or a lot, lol).
Thanks OZ, you're a major asset to the whole Z fam!!
Oh and a sidenote question...not that I'm planning on building a showcar, but does anyone know how easy/hard it is to disassemble the SPL components to get them powdercoated? Black's a little too boring, plus I have a good shop I go to, so I was just thinking out loud. If it's too much work, that's fine too.
