When car makers design the car they design it all to work together in harmony as much as possible. In this area, they design the tire/wheel/hub/bearing/suspension to all be balanced as much as possible, so the wear on the bearing takes place evenly. Change the offset and you change that balance. Putting on big fat tires and wheels with more offset looks awesome for your Saturday driver or show car, but it's not a good idea for a daily driver if you want things to last.
As for the Nismo question, I don't know. Do those wheels have more natural offset?

yah, but dont forget car manufacturers also build these consumer cars for all kinds of people and roads... like snowy roads where a customer might need to run chains. yah, chains on a 370z.  thus needs clearance with the arches.
