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?

Agree, Pilot Super Sports which are now PS4S are by far my favorite tires ever, especially if you figure in the tolerable price.

I have them on my GTS stock wheels and I had them on 20" ADVAN GT wheels on my Nissan GTR, great tire, and price is just about tolerable as you say

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.
