Thanks. Nope they are not the same, ended up going with the following fitment... based on these sizes both front and rear are a bit more aggressive but not overly so. 4mm in front and 7mm rear if I'm not mistaken.
F: 20x9 ET47
R: 20x12 ET47
I think the stance looks fine too but someone planted the bug in my ear about possibly lowering it a wee bit further... we'll see about that. Been reading about the KW Height Adjustable Springs being available for the GTS. Hmmm.

Looks nice but seems like overkill for my needs. Plus it is fully 2x more expensive than the KW springs... better solution sure but I don't think I'd recognize the value commensurate with the cost.
On that note in your opinion what would be better... Bilstein Damptronics or the KW Height Adjustable Springs + DSC V2 Controller? Since both options are likely around the same price, the latter a touch less.

Nope, that is what is on my invoice. Forgeline even came back and said they recommended a different offset for the GTS (+51 I believe) but after some deliberation decided to go ahead with the more aggressive option. Glad I did too.

Just thought the same offset for front/rear looked weird. Not the pics, the #'s. What do I know? Looks sweet!
Spacers are definitely NOT the way to go. Getting custom wheels with more aggressive offsets is the way to go. Nicely done.

with the ride height also...
I thought about it at one point, but my car already scrapes on exit from the garage!
