Camber plays a huge role in selecting the proper offset wheels/ pending the occasion.
As for me (mostly straight line acceleration) I choose to run minimal negative camber-so a 18x9+15 would poke almost 1/2" on my Z...also,the stagger built in these cars would require a 25mm spacer on rear to sit in the same relationship to fender as front.
A lot of variables.
Go to [official 370z wheel fitment guide] pics specs only & take a peek at what other members are running & their camber setups.
Hope this helps.

Yeah ive got my camber down for the most part so its both function and form.. Yeah ive looked through every page of that thread already and got some good info just not exactly what i was looking for and most of them dont say if they rub or not or have enough info.. Also thank you for the contact as well i appreciate the help

Anyway... the specs that of my Gram Lights 57DR was 18x9.5+12 & 18x10.5+22 (the offset arrive in +22 by a mistake) with 20mm spacers on rear. The front sit perfect with the 255/40/18 tires that I have up front... of course you have to give some camber, but nothing crazy... I have the Oem camber arms, etc. never rub on the fender or liners... they work perfect with the correct alignment. On the rear works perfect to... I use the 20mm spacers on the rear to make them flush with the Z body. The offset of the rear wheels suppose to be +12 too like the front. The specs of my rear tires was 285/35/18. I hope that helps something If you have any questions about my Gram Lights setup let me know... Those wheels are soo great that if I keep my Z, im going to buy them again hahhaa!

First off sorry for the rant...so im having issues finding the right setup.. I posted a while back with my current setup (Base 18's rear squared with 25mm rear spacer) so my front offset is the stock 18x9 +15 at my original height i was lowered to on my bc coils i rubbed all the time every driveway, over deep bumps etc. Front tires are the stock 225/50. I didnt have time to go in and raise it up as i have no access to a garage anymore so i just had the fenders rolled which fixed the issue. I have since raised it up and dont rub or scrap on anything anymore thankfully..
The issue im having though is that no matching wheel setups have the offsets im looking for, everything seems to be too wide in the front and not wide enough in the rear. I personally dont like the fronts to stick out pass where the rears would so to prevent that i would need a front setup of 9.5 +20 to +25 and a rear of 10.5 +5 to +10 (Currently at 18x9 -10) a +12 would be the minimum I would run. Theres no way i could run the popular 18x9.5 +15 in the fronts without having issues if i was already having issues with an 18x9 on narrow tires and 18x10.5 +15 is just shy of being wide enough to look right with that front setup anyway and yet it seems every non custom staggered setup is this or really close to this.. My dream setup would be 18x9.5 +22 front and 18x10.5 +10 rear, WITHOUT Spacers which apparently doesnt exist anywhere. Please Correct me if im wrong or missing something or if im the only one that feels this way, just looking for suggestions or alternatives that might be close or anything at this point ive searched for hours now between two days and have nothing to show for it.

Also not many people run CE28s on 370Zs. Will be something different
