The + or - differenciation starts with grade IV: IV-, IV, IV+.
For grades I, II, and III, the intermediate grade may eventually appear as: I-II (I, I-II, II).
A common mistake I've done myself is to say f.i.: II+.

The official UIAA Site's comparison chart for grade comparisons shows a rating of III+.
I have seen ratings as low as II+ in Swiss Alpine Club guidebooks and publications.
Paul Nigg in his Bergell Gebietsführer uses ratings as low as II+.
The + and - can be added to any of the grades.
