Check fitments there for starters. You won't find exact sizes, but some will be close. 10.5 is wide, but doable. You'll definitely need a roll, but IMHO, camber is dumb and ruins your suspension geometry. These are among the best handling cars in the world. You really wanna ruin that just for looks?

And what size tires were you planning? Cause you're not gonna get 10.5" of rubber out back. Just not gonna happen without overfenders or a widebody. I'd personally lean toward the 9.5", but that offset is terribad, and I'm not even sure that will clear stock calipers, depending on the backspacing of the spokes. Probably would for the rears, but still.

Lastly, 19's tend to be a bit on the large side for the Z32, and you'll end up with so little rubber that you'll shake your teeth out of your head. Trust me, I've ridden in one with coils and "rubber band" tires on 19's. was not pleasant by any stretch of the word.
