they look ok, but the pic is so small to judge. Like stated above, 15-20 offset is good. Unless you just wanna get those wheels and put spacers on.

In my opinion the Grand Touring wheels look better than those.

You don't have a Grand Touring. The '06 GT came with a rear spoiler, Brembo brakes as well as 18" RAYS in the front and 19"s in the back. Here is what the wheels and calipers should look like:

You probably have a Touring model, not a Grand Touring. Unless someone swapped out the Brembo brake calipers and GT wheels.
