Judging off 9.5 and 10.5 +15 specs that actually sit close to flush (my specs actually stick out from the fender slightly) you will be about perfect up front , an need a 15mm to 20mm spacer out back.
http://www.1010tires.com/wheeloffsetcalculator.asp will help you, just use the specs i posted as a baseline for flush.

Those are going to be cutting it VERY close to the suspension in the front. Here's a picture of my 18x10 +25 (5mm more inner clearance than your +30's)
As you can see with 5mm less clearance your wheel will fit but you really won't be ably to run much tire unless you are planning to run a 30 series tire.
I would buy some 5, 10, and 15 MM slip on spacers and some ARP studs. Then mount some 285/35's all around and space them to fit.

How flush do you want? You want hella flush? just fit with stock fenders? with a slight rolled fender? with rolled and pulled fender? tons of negative camber?
these guys aren't giving you all that accurate info.
a 10" +30 will be much more flush than your stock wheels. In my experience, you could get down to about a +20 to +22 on a 10" wheel and still not limit your tire size too much nor need a lot of camber to get it to fit. You go with a lower offset than that, you will be sacrificing something to make it fit -> smaller tire size, more camber, rolling fender or a combination of those.
I am trying to find a good pick of my setup.
This is about the best I can find. this is a 10" rear with a +22 offset and a 295 tire. fronts are 9" +18 with a 265 tire. I don't rub, no excessive camber, no roll. with playing with offsets, this is the most aggressive offset I can run without sacrificing something:

Q: What wheel sizes and offsets do I need?
A: Generally speaking, there are a LOT of different combinations that people are running on their Z or G.
Let's get the basics out of the way first: You need a lug pattern of 5x114.3, width between 8 and 11 inches, and diameter of 17", 18", 19", or 20".
Here are some of the more popular wheel and tire sizes (for good reason) that people put on their Z's. There is no "RIGHT" answer but there is a limit to how big or small you can go.
18" combination:
Front 18" x 8.5" , Offset +15 to +25, Tires 245/40/18
Rear 18" x 9.5" , Offset +15 to +25, Tires 275/40/18
(lower offset such as +10 in rear is possible but may require rolling)
Front 18" x 9.5" , Offset +25 to +30, Tires 255/40/18
Rear 18" x 10.5" , Offset +28 to +35, Tires 285/40/18 or 295/35/18
(lower offset such as +23 in the rear is possible but may require rolling)
19" combination:
Front 19" x 8.5" , Offset +15 to +25, Tires 245/35/19
Rear 19" x 9.5" , Offset +15 to +25, Tires 275/35/19
(lower offset such as +10 in rear is possible but may require rolling)
Front 19" x 9.5" , Offset +25 to +30, Tires 255/35/19 or 265/35/19
Rear 19" x 10.5" , Offset +23 to +32, Tires 285/35/19 or 295/35/19
(lower offset such as +23 or wider tires in the rear is possible but may require rolling)
From this, you get the idea of what is required to go with smaller wheels like 17's, (typically lighter, faster acceleration), or bigger wheels like 20's (bigger, heavier, usually makes you feel slower).
Get to know how to use the following tools and you will be able to figure out for yourself the correct offsets and tire sizes you need:
Tire size calculator (click)
Wheel Offset Calculator
Certain combinations of LOW OFFSET and/or WIDE WHEELS will require what is known as "fender rolling" or "fender cutting".
If you are not familiar with the term "fender rolling", here is a quick but useful lesson you can learn in a couple of minutes: Go outside to wherever your Z is parked. Run your fingers along the inside edge of a REAR fender just above your tires. You will feel a sharp edge and a flap of metal sticking inward towards the car. Now, go up to the FRONT fender, and feel the inside of the fender again. You should notice that the flap of metal has been "rolled" upwards on the front fenders. This is exactly what fender rolling is all about. The rear fenders will need to be rolled to make room for wide wheels or low offsets, or else your tires may rub on the metal when you take hard corners or hit bumps. Any experienced wheel/tire shop should know how to roll a fender. If you go to a shop that does not seem like they know what they're doing, get out of there.
