That's way off, will be tucked in like the current wheels. You want something around +20.

A +62 Offset sit the brake calipers through the spokes.

+20 - +30 are the most common offsets for the Z. Read that thread carefully.

You might want to try another calculator. With the numbers that you mentioned, you will not be able to get the wheels under the car.

The GT-U is not offered in a 19 inch but there are some pretty aggresive offsets you can go with as well sa the the GT-C. If you are interested in purchasing VOLK wheels and have questions about offsets, feel free to shoot me a PM.
