Re: Restoration/build: 72' 240z
Upon reviewing my S30Z bible, 9.5 -22 with 225/50/15s fits very nicely in the rear with ZG flairs. That same guy is running 8 -22 with 195/55/15s and those look pretty flush as well.
There is a stock body Z running 15X8.5/9 -5/-15 with 205/50 and 225/50s.

I really wanna do those meshes (15x10 -51), but that's 35mm more than the setup you said (9.5 -22)

The set up I mentioned fits like that black car does, so you would probably have ~10-12 mms to poke out more, and you can always run a little less tire or sidewall.

I mean greater offset than stock, in absolute terms if that makes it clearer. Moving the center of the contact patch far away from stock.
Low offset being more aggressive is only relative to what the stock offset is. So on this car, low offset is more aggressive. On a BMW, not so much. Flying to London takes a long time if you start from New York, but not if you start from France.
