Best possible offset for Volks VS-XX 19"
If you are significantly lowered, after a few months, you will wish the 19x9.5 +19 and 19x10.5 +17 were more aggressive. Atleast that's what happened to me.
I'm looking for a similar look as yours. I currently have a 9.5 + 17, 10.5 +18 setup on 245/275. I just got bored of the look (not flush enough) and will be going with some quality spacers to have an effective offset of 9.5 +7, 10.5 +8 on the same tires and less than 2.5" negative camber.

This is the problem - you've got alot of people replying with bits and pieces of info, yet no one either really fully understands, or fully is expressing, what they are talking about.
First - offset in and of itself does not determine caliper clearance. Caliper clearance is determined by the combination of offset, spoke design, and pad height.
He will not have 10mm of working room - because this happens to be one of the flattest spoke wheels on the market.
There also are no custom offsets offered for these wheels - you choose among the ones they offer.
Next, there is no 19x9.5 +19 VSXX made with the R disk (which has the maximum caliper clearance). In an R disk, there is the following: +40, +28, +15, +2, -10, -23, -36. The 19x9.5 +19 is offered in A disk (which doesn't clear Brembo) .

hahahah yeah I really am not a pro... thanks a lot for all your infos guys i'm really learning a lot with all this...
Extra info about what i'm looking for : My Z will be daily driven during summer and I have my old beaten down truck for winter and late automn days(cause we get a LOT of snow where I live).
I also don't want to burn a set of tires per month that's why I dont want to run on more then -3, -4 camber (then again I dont have enough knowledge to know where that sits lool)..So reasonable tire wear ... Yes I am running on stock body besides cai and Stance GR+ my Z is completely stock.. By not too stretch I mean maybe 265 or 275 min on a 10.5 rim... less then that is too stretched to me...
I dont want to read the side wall from the back lool kinda
I'm not looking for a caveman stance either.. even tho it looks sick but the roads over here are really really bad...

you don't want to read the sidewall from the back, but you say the roads are really bad?
you need to sit down and have an honest conversation with yourself about what it is you want, and how far (money, time and effort) you are willing to go to achieve it.

Yes, spoke design can come into play. The wheels I've referred to are of the spoke design, and there is some inflection in that design. But 1/2 an inch of difference? Sure, wheel concavity can eat up a few mm if one was on the bleeding edge, but to see two wheel faces that are both 19x9.5 +30 sit 15mm different would be surprising to me. Not saying it's not possible, I would simply be surprised and learn from it.
I'd order the wheels from a vendor to guarantee they will work with your Brembos if you have your heart set on these specifically.
yes, pad height - it has everything to do with caliper clearance

here's one for you
19x9.5 +12 TE37 - does or does it not clear Brembo? By your thinking, you would think it clears with tons of room to spare.

If i'd realy have found the look I'm looking for I would'nt have started this thread....
90% of the VS-XX on this site are either 20" or on non-brembo brakes cars

^ kk I get what you meant 
... Yeah I think i'm looking for an offset somewhere between +17 and +12 in front but since the VS-XX are reaaally flat I don't know if they will clear brembos.. I know +12 TE 37 clears with a 3mm spacer but then again the face of those 2 wheels are SOOOOO different..
Let me rephrase my demand... What would be the most aggressive yet daily drivable offset for a 19x9.5 and 19x10.5 or x11 VS-XX setup that would clear Brembos ???
Thank you all for your comments and informations everyone your help is really appreciated

All they are able to do is shave down a given size by up to a few mm, but it depends on what it starts off with in the first place

Thanks guys for all your time and effort !!! 
Rick from www.Ravspeconline.com answered my question... If you have any question about WORK's offsets he is your man.
Final answer is 19x9.5 R +15 and 19x11 A +13

Too aggressive ? Not enough ?
edit: WOW I just saw the pictures of your G in the aggressive wheels and stretched tires thread
My only concern is... I know the overall fender size on the G is bigger... but is it wider( deeper... call it any way you want it) ? would an aggresive setup on a Z look regular on a G ? and vice-versa an aggresive G setup would look retarded on a Z .. like 3 inches out ???

this is coming from a guy with 11" fronts and like -25 offset, so no worries OP
btw, ride looks sick shane!
that 11" +13 will need a nice stretch (like a 275 tire) and prolly about -2* of camber to fit properly (depending on your drop)
that sticks out 11mm further than what I have now. my 275 tire is a credit card distance from a rolled fender with ~-1.6* camber. I have that same offset up front, and that will look sunk depending on your camber. I'm running -1,8* and could probably use a 10mm spacer with my 245 tire.
it will look hot, but definately not what you were asking for in your 1st post.
