What tires for my aftermarket wheels?
I got some aftermarket wheels that are 20x10 +46 and 21x12 +42 for my 2016 GTS. What size tires would you recommend putting on them?

Sounds like you might be what is affectionately called a "wheel *****" Realien. Me too. I have 19" Volk TE style wheels (which are my all time favorite wheels, although Advan (not sure which model) are close) on my BMW and Porsche 968. I get complaints about that by other wheel guys since those are Japanese wheels that I have on my German cars.

awesome, thanks for the help on this. I did find out the wheels I got are made for the GTR so I need to find out if they are going to stick out and look bad with the different offset. We shall see...

I would like to go 275 in front and 315 in the back. First I need to put the wheel on the car to make sure it isn't going to stick out after finding out these wheels are for the GTR

Sorry, I didn't notice that your original post included the offsets of those wheels. Those front wheels will stick out a tad over an inch more that the stock GT wheels and the rear with stick out right at 1.5 inches more that stock. I have not idea if that means those wheels will rub the fenders, I'd guess not given how stiff these suspensions are. I believe the stock wheels are 19x9et62 front and 19x11et68 rear.
