Default Street/Autox car: how much toe out is too much?

I have a 2001 Prelude that serves 50% duty as a weekend driver and 50% as an STS vehicle. I would like to run some toe out, but I do not want to encounter outrageous tire wear that can be associated with this type of an alignment.

Is anyone here running a little bit of toe out in the front on the street without ungodly amounts of tire wear?

Also, what would be the change in my vehicles responsiveness if I apply some toe in/out to the rear? Should I just leave this at zero degrees toe?

1/16th toe out up front
0 in rear

i tried 1/8th up front and my tires didn't last as long as i would have liked. i set it back to 1/16 and it's a pretty good compromise between daily driving and autox. i haven't tried anything with the rear and i don't really plan to either.
