Why have you decided to ask these questions now after you've already ordered them. Should've done some research before investing so much. I'm on a conservative Eibach drop which is why I decided to go with the 32/42 offset. If you want custom offsets you have to pay alot more $$$ and be prepared to wait a while too.

My drop isn't conservative... Post pics of yours. I wasn't aware of the extra cost ... Can someone tell me the prices difference???? How is it custom if its offered ? It really doesn't matter .. I know the look I want and if I don't get the 20/25 ... I'll be selling them in a week. I'm spending the money so I want exactly what I want.... As far as the whole why didn't u ask these questions before coulda woulda shoulda... I'm not going to answer that cause it doesn't really matter unless you have a time machine. I do want to say thanks again to everyone that posted on the thread everyone was cool and helpful as usual...

Majority of the pics you will want to look at are posted on the Vossen post up thread. With your drop you have a couple options. I suggest you listen to Diego (VossenG37s) and go with a 20x9 front wheel with a +20 offset, your tire size with be 235/35 and for the rear go with 20x10.5 with a +25 offset, your tire size with be a 265/30. These are somewhat aggressive offsets. They will be more flush to the fender than the +32 and +42 offsets. The +20 and +25 offsets you want will most likely require you to move or shave your bumper bracket to prevent rubbing. This tire size has a small stretch, look at Vosseng37s, he has the same set up minus the s techs.
The more conservative offsets will be the +32 and +42 offsets where you will be able to run bigger tires such as 245/35 on the front and 285/30 or 275/30 on the rear. A lot of people go this route because it looks good and they dislike the stretch tires look as well as other reasons.
So for our G's Vossen just have these 2 combinations of offsets available. Now if you want to make offsets of your own then you need to contact them or someone who deals with them to start that process.
There are not too many options for you because of your drop on a spring and they cannot be adjusted therefore your will only have a few choice unless you want to push the limits and go a different direction. With that being said here are your options..
You should be running 20x9 front and 20x 10.5 rears.
