A wider tire will go on a 9.5" wheel; though the 9.5 is optimum for the 275 width tire.
Best way to spec wheels, is to tune suspension first & then measure your inner clearance to most likely contact point.
You can then determine about how much wheel will fit (as you have coilovers) and then pick from various sized tire's to work for you. (Height/Diameter/etc.)
Best to keep the diameter close; as if you're too tall F/R, you will have multiple warning lights illuminated on dash & reduced power...I'd recommend 2% max differential & I prefer a slight rake (rear tire's a bit taller than front), though some people have pushed out closer to 3% & some choose a negative rake (front's taller than rear)...as our base Z's came with 26.7"R,26,9"F.
Have in mind what brand & performance catagory tire you're looking at; cause they will differ by mfg.
This is how custom offset wheels are determined.
Also never hurts to scroll back a few post & look up the [official 370z] fitment guide...tons of pics/specs/setups that others are running & alignment specs and any issues you've having.
Endless setup designs for these cars w/massive wheel wells.
