I will give you a run down of different stances and the specs that you would need to achieve. Here ya go bro

Mild- 20x9.5(+22) 20x10.5(+22)
Aggressive 20x9.5(+18) 20x10.5(+0)----- Best choice in my opinion.
Very Aggressive 20x9.5(+12) 20x10.5(-5)

Attached pic is right around the "aggressive" specs i gave you... (give or take a couple MM)
(Double click pic to blow it up)

Kenchan will you throw some pics of your current setup? I know you have some nice wheels and good offsets

id say 20x10 + 27 with a 275 /30 / 20 tire. Keeps you at OEM diameter and flush if your not lowering your car or running crazy camber. Also this way the tires dont have that awful stretched look.

match that with a 20x12 + 25 with a 325/25/20 tire for the same results in the back.

if you wanna go low and run camber, then do a 20x10 + 22 front and 20x12 + 20 rear or more depending on how low / how much camber.

Soooooo many possible combinations. Do want very little camber, w/ meaty tires? Do you want crazy camber w/ stretched tires? Mild stretch w/ mild camber?

Post some pics of the stance you're looking for. Or, even better... Go out to your car and do some measuring.

These links are all useful when figuring out stance.

Ok i sold my volk GT-30's to my friend. He put them and some spacer on his black 370. He is lowered about 3" front and rear on coilovers, his specs now are 20x9.5+10 front and 20x10.5 -5 in the rear. He is runnings some camber in ther rear and the tires are 255/30/20 F. & 305/25/20 R.

Lots of other pics in here but his is the black 370 w/Volks.
