you want to keep the contact patch centered over spindle the pivot point. i wouldn't sacrifice performance to make the wheel look like it fills in the wheelwell. the nissan engineers nailed the front geometry, i wouldn't space the wheels out, even though a LOT of people do it. just my opinion.

Now, anyone has good pictures for 9.5 / 10.5 +22 like AVmagneticZ / OffsetZ33 for me to finalise ?
Thanks everyone for your input...its really a great forum.
I looking for these looks...

the +12 isn't bad as I thought all u need is a rear fender roll. I drive aggressive to it doesnt matter but if I were u I'd go with low in the front and like the +22 in the rear but i dont rub at all on the tanabe gf springs. why would u have to file ur caliper?

If your going to run the 10.5 +22 rear then run the 9.5 +22 front, with the +22 rear and +12 front it's going to look goofy, aggressive as hell front and just flush in the front.
I run an 18x9.5 and 18x10.5 +15 both and it's aggressive and looks good. Runnin a 295/`35 rear tire and deff had to roll the fenders, so with a 10.5 +22 and 275 you wont, 285 prolly not, but 295 you prolly will. Just roll the fenders and put a 295 in the rear and 265 up front, do it right. Not sure on the profile since i run 18's, prolly a 295/30, but don't quote me.

i dunno everyone has their own opinion...so...its hard to say, but your title states you want flush. and +22 is almost flush...its the norm for the car. the everyday driver normal offset imo +15 rear and +12 front is the dopest with a 275/255 tire setup. doesnt mean u cant run +12 and still drive everyday like me. also depends what u want the wheels for. if its just looks **** go aggressive. if you want more performance, maybe not so aggressive since to get them to fit ull need lots of camber like "ZTEALTH" said youll lose some of that contact patch. so like "extreme" performance wise is not a good thing. also if you want performance id go 285/255 setup. the 255 is perfect for the fronts...maybe even a 265 toyo. (i say toyo because their tires are skinnier in width then most other brands)

And yeah, the +12 isnt bad at all, and Ive got wide front tires. Thinking of spacers for the rear in the future maybe, or I guess I could dial out some camber...

I don't know if the clearance on the 350z is the same as a G35 coupe, but I'm going to have to get my rear fenders rolled with 275 width tires in the rear on +22 offset 10.5" rims.
I was fine at stock height, but after lowering the rear about an inch, it's starting to rub. If you look closely, you can see where it hits the tire.
