Shoot I need to make a video to explain all this lol Cause these questions will never end and I have had debates on this with people for years!
OMGWTFBBQ is right excessive toe will eat up tires! I know first hand!!! I had my suspension done at NTB once and told the guy .2 total toe in the rear and he slammed it to 2.0 total toe in the rear (this was in my s2k) lets say I barely got it 3/4 mile before turning around and having him fix it. *note* always look at the sheet even if the mech says and repeats back the same specs you gave them!!! When we took the wheels off to look at the wear I literally was peeling thousands of miles of rubber that had rolled upon the edges of the tires! the tires were shreading sooooo bad! A little toe can go to help rear end stability as well as help curb camber wear and induce a more normal flat wear.

How about this offset for a Work VSXX on a 370Z:
Front 19x10 +36 (O-Disk 84mm Deep) Rear 19x11 +23 (O-Disk 108mm Deep)? Damn! Offsets are just too Confusing!! How do you guys actually know if the offsets fits a specific car nicely? You compare it with the original offset is it?

Finally i got my hands on the VS-XX...
Front 19x10 Inset F +38 Rear 19x11 Inset E +23 (O) But to my disappointment, the wheels touched the calipers have to send it back to Japan tomorrow & will have to wait for another 3 more weeks or so.... Is there anyone out there who have used a VSXX on a 370Z or have any experince using them, or anyone who has good knowledge on wheels, please do suggest me some offsets with large lips. Here's some pictures:
