Here is better solution,
Same wheels and spec you are wondering how would they look.

Wow those that I linked below look really tucked in to me and they have even higher offsets than the OP is asking about

And also your suggestion about getting single digit offsets shows how much you know about rims that will fit the Z properly.

Let me put it this way guys.....
Right now I have 20x8.5s +40 all the way around. It cant get much more sunken in than that. The 9.5 width in the back with +24 offset will move my wheels out another 30mm.

8.5 ET 22 front won't be "Flush" per se, but pretty darn close, I run 18x8.5 ET 24 up front and it looks great....with my stock suspension. I assume the lower you go, the farther out the wheels should go to make it look better. With that said, in no way am I ever interested in the "flush" look all the rage is these days. But these are the same guys that run 255's on 10.5" wide wheels and claim "itz stretched yo...thats the shiz deez dayz." So take their advice as a ricer offering sticker advice.

BTW, here is my 8.5+22 245/35/19 on the front before I installed my 20mm spacers, notice how they are "far from flushed". The rears are 9.5+5 285/35/19 and notice how those still aren't flushed with the fenders as evidenced my the shadows on the tires, I can go out at least 5mm more and still have full suspension travel without rubbing.


Notice, full tire tuck without rubbing

If the OP is happy with those offsets, then fine, just don't claim they are flushed when they have over 20mm of clearance still
my car, 19x8.5F +22 or +24 i believe
19.9.5R +22


This is what it will look like. Not the most agressive setup either, but it wont leave people thinking that you bought sedan offsets. Its perfectly fine. I am dropped on cusco zero-2 coilovers. I have not rolled the fenders, and it just barely clears the stock fenders.
