The lowest offset 18x9.5 TE37s are available in is +12 and the lowest offset 18x10.5 TE37s come in is +15. Being that track cars generally run more aggressive camber than street only vehicles you should be able to fit those tires and wheels on your car with a fender roll (or slight pull depending on how low the car is).

i allready have rolled my fenders and still my street tires 295 ( smaller then Racing tires) rubbs in the rear when i drift.
the issue is really that im getting Seibons 10mm wide fenders and dont want the front tires to look skinny.
Ok gentlemen, here's my dilemma. I use my G as a daily driver, ie truly every single day until I buy another true daily in a couple years.
That being said, I will be getting some CE28s for spring after finishing up my OEM tires and I cannot decide between +22 vs +12 offset and the rear tire sizes, 275 vs 285. I'd rather not stretch and get 285s for the rears, and 255s out front obviously. That being said, if I go +12, I don't know how feasible 285s are out back for a daily.
I will be lowered on 350z Tein H-techs which will lower my car ~0.8-0.9"F, 0.6-0.7"R
until coilovers later when the car is no longer a daily which is a very manageable drop that likely wont need a camber kit with +22 offset. So I guess my question is: what do you all recommend for +12 vs +22 based on it being a daily (keep in mind the difference for CEs in terms of lip seems minimal for CEs as compared to TEs), and what tire sizes based on the offset you suggest.
I will roll fenders obviously, but I need it to be driveable without too much issue for the next couple years. ie not a massive amount of feathering/scraping, hence the minimal lowering and not a lot of rubbing as I park in a parking garage every day with bumps everywhere.
Any opinions are appreciated. I'm getting the wheels this week and tires sometime before spring...
Thank you muchly.

+22 on a 10.5 is not aggressive.
Go for their +12 offsets, get 285's in the rear, roll your fenders, and dial the camber based on the outcome. If it still rubs, just do a slight pull on the fenders.

Whoa... can anybody confirm this? I know NASA effectively forced Toyo to keep making the RA1 but I was not aware that the relatively new R888 was getting the axe.
Perelli 295/19/30s just got here. I'm on DPE Titanium Asphalt Variant S with 275/35/19 stock height stock camber right now. I saw them at my parents house and I can't beleive how wide they are! Couldnt carry the two of them in the car. Gotta go back tommorow with the girlies ride....
Why the hell doesnt DPE release offsets?

I need to put you on ignore, you give horrible advice. Who wants to have to plan on pulling the fenders? Pulling the fenders on a Z disrupts the Z's lines. These are not 240SXs.

If you believe you need to pull your fenders for 285's on a 10.5 +12, then obviously you don't have much experience in this field. I am running 275's on 10.5 +8 with just a basic fender roll...no rubbing at all. And my camber settings are only mild.
Wheel fitment is subjective. If you don't like the advice, then simply ignore it. That's not hard, is it?

I have to throw my hat into this ring 
This is my current track (road racing) setup: 18x9.5 +22 fronts with 275/35/18 Toyo R888s and 18x10.5 +22 with 305/35/18s out back:

My fenders are pulled and I've been running BC Racing coilovers for about a month with no real rubbing issues. My DD wheels have 275/35/19s in front and 285/35/19s in back and I haven't had any real issues with that setup either.
