Andre,

Use a footprint per IPC-7351.  Your assembly engineer will need to specify 
home plate or H shaped stencil apertures.  As long as the process is good, you 
shouldn't have tombstoning problems with 0402.

Download an IPC-7351 land pattern calculator here:

But make sure you also get a copy of IPC-7351, to help understand the 
information you need to input to the calculator, and how calculations are 
done, in case you need to tweak any settings.

Pete
