New wheels for my GS!
Found a great deal on some OEM Cup wheels w/TPMS & tires for my GS. I think they look awesome!

Yes, +1 sizing (ZR1/427 sizes):
19x10 & 20x12 with 285/30/19 & 335/25/20
vs
18x10 & 19x12 with 275/35/18 & 325/30/19
I compared them side by side, and even though the section width is only 10mm wider, they are actually a full 1" wider.

My wife likes them! 
She'll like them even more the first time she rides in the car. Just driving down the street to the tire shop to have the TPMS reset, I've already noticed a significant improvement in ride quality and a reduction in noise over the Goodyears. The traction is also better.

I have more experience with trucks, and going from a stock wheel/tire, to something in the neighborhood of 33's to 35's is quite a difference and requires adjustments to get the speedo to work right.
Thanks, and those wheels look great.

The outer diameter is exactly the same, so speedo remains accurate. While the wheels are 1" larger, the tire sidewall is shorter to keep everything the same.
