I am considering putting 20 front and 21 rims on the rear of my car .I would also like to use larger tires..(ie 275 front 315 rear) I know getting the right offset and tires is very important. Has anyone used a company they would suggest ? I know this can be nightmare if not done correctly. I will not be putting the car on the track but would like more traction.
I ran HRE 21x12 in the rears with 325/25/21 tires. At the time, Michelin didn't make a PSS or PS4 in that size. I took them off and witched to a 20inch rear because I absolutely despised the Pirelli Pzeroes. Pzeros handle well but the straight line traction and ride quality are horrid. Might go back to them now that the PS4S is available in that size.
If you want more straight line traction, don't go with 21s. In my experience, more sidewall is better than wider tires for straight line traction. 21s are basically rubber bands.
I'm selling my almost new set of Avante Garde Luxury wheels. I just got them a week ago but decided to go another route. They are 19x10 +54 and 20x12 +65. You will be able to run 275/30 fronts and 325/30 rears. Pm me if you're interested.
20/21 is a nice upgrade size wise. You will want to go 265/30-20 fronts and 325/25-21 rears on the proper width and offset wheels.
Sent you a PM.
Careful, many wheel vendors won’t discuss offsets and simply say “we have something that fits”, usually the results are disappointing with these companies, no matter how big their name and reputation, they are a bit too conservative, or with the lower end wheels, too much offset and look horrible and/or rub.

For the proper 20//21 setup you should use 265's and 325's respectively. Almost all of the AMG GTS' in our gallery use that 20//21 setup - https://wheelsboutique.com/galleries/gt-s
As you can see we have unrivaled experience with the platform and have no-rub + perfectly flush fitments for cars that are both OEM ride height or lowered.

I've used WB on all my cars and they always get the fitment right. I don't know how they did it but for my GTR they fit 355 in the rear with a 21" tire and they don't look like rubber bands. I'm sure they will post pictures of the car soon. These were on the new HRE P101SC wheels.

Always a pleasure working with you. Thank you always for your continued support.
