20x11 +37 is quite aggressive... perhaps you can make it work with serious fender mods, major negative camber and a narrow tire (255/35-20 stretched WAY out)...
Mine is quite aggressive in the rear (20x10 +35 with 285/30-20) and I had to do all sorts of mods to make it work (I was aware of this when I made them, but I was prepared for it because I like the look).
20x11 +37 is .42" (about 10mm) more aggressive than mine is... definitely out past the fender. I would say it will be a very "Japanese look," with the rim hanging past the bodywork.

In my opinion, why bother with the 10 or 1' wheel if one of two things arent going to come with it.
One, a larger rear lip on the wheel....just becasue its wider, doesnt mean the lip will be larger...that width may very well come from the inside barrell being larger with the same face and outer barrell.
Two, a larger tire for those that have the power that would call for the extra grip.
If you go to a wider wheel, jump through hoops to make it fit, then have to stretch the tire out...whas the point?

and yes, 11 with 315, imho that's a killer, specially for cars with FI *cough* right jeff? *cough*
sometimes jdm cars they look at the wheels setup totally differently from the cosmetic point of view only. as wide as possible (so from rear you see it being wide), super stretch tires so they can actually push the wheel outward more to get more lip. then slam the car all the way so the fender is touch the lip of the wheel
totally impractical, but that's the fashion there, people follow. that's all i can figure out
