Not really. 9.5" wide wheel is optimal for our car, but the offset needs to be around +35.

actually I would say a 17x9 or 18x9 is the optimal size for the CT9A without having to do mods to your fenders. Offsets in the range of +30 to +35.
A 9.5 rim, even at conservative offsets and running a 265 which would be what most functional oriented folks will recommend will cause rubbing even when the car is lowered conservatively (say with Swift Springs on stock struts).
If the TE37 is what you are looking at and you want the concave face, the best option are the TE37 Sagas as Rays has changed the offsets a bit around on this wheel to allow more concave for lesser aggresive offsets.
Normally you have go with an offset of +22 to get the concave face on the standard TEs and its SL variant.
If you look at the chart for the Sagas on their site, the 18x9.5 +31 now comes with the concave face and the offsets is much more forgiving then a +22 when trying to get them to fit with a proper size tire... say a 265. Even with a +31 you may still rub in the rear depending on how low your car is. Also, I mentioned the +31 because according to their chart they will clear the calipers up front.

Wheel fitment isn't optimal until you've maximzed what the fender can fit by rolling the lip and relocating the bumper bolt. Both are simple mods that, if done correctly, are invisible.

Your least expensive route for a wheel/tire combo with bolt-on fitment that adds performance and looks will be a 255/40-17 tire paired with 17x9 +29 to +35 mm offset wheels that clear the front caliper without spacers. 265/35-18 paired with 18x9 wheels in the same offset will fit too, but will cost a hell of a lot more money. Well, at least the tires will.

Also I'm also just running drop springs, so my clearance with the front strut is limited on the inside, as it is with a 17X9 +35 rim with 255/40/17 tires I can barely squeeze a finger between the tire and the front strut. Was looking at a 265/40/17 tire but It doesn't look like there would be room with the current setup!
