ive ran 18x12 +0 (w/265/35 tires) with no issues either

i know i know, these wheels are cheap/lame
and this isnt a 350z

but, ive been building it up over the last year, the new wheels fit pretty good on it IMO
xxr 526
17x9+5 (20mm added) 225/45
18x10.5+20 245/40

just a teaser pic for now, going lower and hopefully do a z/s13 fotoshoot soon

im pretty sure that every .5" of width is equal to 12mm, 6 on the inside of the rim, and 6 on the outside.. so when going up or down, for each .5" of width you either add or subtract 6mm on the outside...

thus, 19x9.5 +2 is equal to a 19x10.5 +14... right??

I'm pretty much on the same calculation as you in my understanding
But if the inner clearance is to be kept constant as it doesnt hit the suspension parts and adding the 1/2" to the outer position.
Keeping the inner clearance / "back spacing" constant i got -30 offset
If you were to keeping the Lip or outer position constant I got the same as you at -17 / -18 offset (closer to the -18) but that would be adding 1/2" to the inside.
Going by a percentage factoring I got -25mm offset
There might be a E=mc2 rule to factor in that I am just not getting
