How would i go about on calculating the offsets i would need for the wider volk rims?
i want to run 285/25/20 front on 20x10 and 305/25/20 rear on 20x11 this gives me the widest tires and still able to tuck the wheels when aired out? i saw the deigo the vossen guy was did it!

To go that aggressive I'd just go to the source, send a private message to Diego@Vossen, he's real good about helping w/ those tight setups.
BTW, nice choice on the AP Racing BBK, those bad boys are monsters!

Please don't ditch volks for vossens (not that there is anything wrong with them).

Might try these Nittos w/ your current wheels, at least they make them in narrower 20s for your fronts unlike most of the other drag radials.
NT01 D.O.T.-Compliant Competition Road Course Tire
Should be able to get a full hook up without having to go any wider on the rim, at least on dry pavement

That is INSANE!!! Did you camp outside his door the whole year for this Black Friday freak deal?? You are one lucky guy to be owner of this super cleanly modded and sick ride. Hurry and pull the trigger on the AP Racing to complete the car

Man how much did those wheels cost? Or did they come like that when you bought it?

I'm trying to achieve the same look on my Slate Blue sedan, with the gun metal-type trim.
