It won't be as pushed out to the fenders as a lower, more extreme offset. Also, the even size all around will make the Z/G handle much more balanced/neutral. Less understeer characteristics than a staggered setup. There was a great, detailed article about it in Sport Compact Car, when they tested out different setups on their Project 350Z. Also, you will be able to flip and rotate your tires, so you can get much more life out of them.

I think a +37 offset with "only" an 8.5" wide is absolutely ridiculous, it will look like $hit. Why wouldnt you want to go a little wider than a stock tracks rear? And why even consider putting on a wheel that is going to sit so far in?
