I'm not going to camber and "stance" out my Z like the honda kids do. That's not my style. But this is the reason I asked if anyone had pics of this done.

For those that seemed like they had questions regarding my wheel offsets:
fronts are 18x9 +22
rears are 18x10.5 +18

And if I do decide to go this route, it'll only be temporary. So no need to get butt hurt over this. I don't plan on "ruining" my car. Again, this was just a general inquiry.
I'm glad you aren't planning to stance your Z. But you did ask about stretched tires. The response you got was completely warranted and should have been expected.

Yes. Those tires will affect the handling of your Z and do not properly fit your wheels. Get some new, proper fitting tires
