offset Gods please help me....
I was responding to friscomgm, hence why I attached his post, saying that I agreed those horrible sizes would probably work, but the OP (you) would have posted in the stretch tire thread instead of making a new post to help with offsets.
I've got 19x9.5 Fronts +17 running 245/35/19's, and 19x10.5 Rears running 275/30/19's and I think it's pretty aggressive... My fenders are also Rolled. I don't get insane camber wear, but nonethless I do get camber wear.

beautiful z bro....what tires do you have? any more rolling shots?
The fronts pictured were 245/35/19 Yokohama NES001 (or whatever they're called) but I recently swapped them out to 245/35/19 Nitto Invo's (I highly recommend) which fill out the wheel gap much better. The first picture is also before I added the 5mm spacers which put me down to a +17, so I need to get another current shot like that. The rears are 275/30/19 BFG KDW2's

Agreed that might make it 'work', but the OP should be posting elsewhere if he wants 225s for 9.5s and 245s for 10.5s: https://my350z.com/forum/wheels-and-...s-welcome.html
I'll take some this weekend and send them to you. Honestly, i'd just go with either +22's all the way around and just run some 5 or 10mm spacers. Or just go with +12 all the way around if you really think you want to be that aggressive

but I think even with +4/+8 with rolled or cut fenders I could pull off the -2 camber setting. I'm gonna call Rick at Status on tomorrow to confirm or at least get his opinion...
Here is a recent thread showing pix from pretty much all angles.

Here is another thread of mine:
https://my350z.com/forum/media-share...z-finally.html
I have Volk GT-S 19x9.5 +4 / 19x10.5 +8 (NOT +17/+18). Nitto INVO 245 and 275 width tires.
I am directly answering the question: "I wanna know if i can pull off this set up without having to do "streched tires and too much neg camber"? I would like my rear tires to have meat on them but not too much meat, so having said this what do you guys think?"
To answer your question, directly, the answer is simply no, it will not work.
You have to
A) perform significant fender modification
B) run a stretched tire
C) run a lot of negative camber
to make this setup work. And as Andy mentioned earlier - your rear BBK clearance is going to be very close.
Now, if you are set on these offsets and want to run a "standard" 245 / 275 combo and only 2 degrees of negative camber, your solution is significant fender modification.
Make sure you know what you are doing here and you'll be fine. Either do it yourself or find a TRUSTWORTHY shop to take care of it for you. This isn't some roll my fenders in a half hour type job. To get them this far out you are going to have to roll/pull/cut or whatever you prefer to gain as MUCH clearance as possible without buckling the panels.

OP, friscomgm's post is the most relevant for this thread. I know you didn't want too much camber or a stretched look. I'm more worried about camber for tire wear, but the only way I can see it possible to not have a mild stretch or run wild camber would be to not dump the car.
