Does anyone no exactly how much offset is needed to accomodate the 370Z front brakes (non-sport edition)?

Also what if a wheel has more offset than the factory wheel? For example, if I replace the rear factory 18x9 +15 with a 18x9.5 +35. I believe that will increase the scrub radius. What effect is that going to have on tire wear, performance, etc?
