Whats the width? If you running 8.5 then you will nave no problems.

I got Axis Milano 19x8.5 with a +35 offset running 245/35/19 RE960AS. Car is dropped about an inch, and I have a finger gap in the rear and 1.5 fingers in the front.

So, you will be able to run 45 series, but why? If you EVER plan on dropping, then you will have problems.

Again what are the exact specs on Hiros?

Also what tires do you recommend on for tire life? I baby the car around hardly ever get on it, It stays under 4k rpm..

Ok, I'm assuming you running the 19x8.5 setup with 35 offset. If you plan on dropping then just stick with 35 series. I would bump it up to 245/35/19.

In terms of what brand of tire. Question lies within do you have your stock wheels/tires still? If you do, I would keep them to use as winter wheels, then from my personal preference and doing homework for about a month before I bought tires, I would go with the Bridgestone Potenza RE960AS.

so doing a 1 inch drop in the future i would be ok with running Bridgestone Potenza RE960AS 245/35/19?

i still have the factory wheels and the tires are perfect, so no issue with using them for snowy weather..

Bridgestone Potenza RE960AS 245/35/19 i just googled them and they are about 250 each.. any place in KCK or KCMO you can recommend that would have them a bit cheeper

know what the life on the tires are? approx?

has reviews of the tires. And your right they 243 a pop. Damn I payed that much for them plus another 100 or so for install, and they fucked up the paint on the rims too. AHHHH.... Whatever you do, take it to a shop that actually does work with aftermarket wheels no maw n pop shop...
