Help with square setup

Hello all, I am new here... I purchased a 2010 G37XS last month.

I need your help: I want to order a set of wheels for my G37X (possibly the Volk TE37) but unlike most people, I want a square setup for the track. I did many searches but most people are running staggered setups.

From all the research I did, I think the widest wheels I can get up front are 9s. Am I wrong?
I plan on lowering the front ~1.5" and ~1.0 at the rear. I would like it if I did not have to run excessive camber but would like if the wheels could be as flush as possible.

Does anyone have this setup? Does anyone know what offset I would have to go with for front and then what offset for the back?

Thank you all for your help.

I have 9.0 VR RE30 +38 (running 245) in front, lowered on coils, and am fine with camber and they are pretty flush. I have 10.0 +35 in the back (275) that have slight camber and are more aggressive.

My Fronts are 8.5 +37, camber -1.4. They are about 0.5" from being flush.
This would suggest to me that 9.0" wheels would be as wide as you can go, with camber near or within spec and also be flush. Any wider and they may poke.

Thank you very much RPS and RPM.
Would anyone know how 9" with +38 would look at the back?
Thanks again!

It would look pretty good. That's 18mm (11/16") out from a stock G37S rear wheel which is 8.5" +50.

Maybe this is a stupid question but why doesn't Infiniti (and all the other manufacturers) sell cars with more aggressive offsets? Even the 370Z have pretty conservative offsets.

Probably to help the aftermarket wheel industry, and narrower wheels & smaller tires are cheaper. You see a few tire /wheel upgrade pkgs from the dealer but still w/ pretty conservative offsets.
