Thumbs up

Yeah, that would definitely be ideal! I have 2 issues though: I'm not particulary excited about the deal of not being able to rotate my tires, ($$$:eek: ) and I am getting a one time deal on 4 rims at that size. So you know how it is. But I guess that answers my question. I wanted to be sure a 245/35/19 w/ a 9in. rim would be trouble free up front.

Exclamation Deal not finalized!

Actually since the deal is ongoing/still pending, I don't want to discuss it yet. But as far as tires, I haven't gotten a solid deal yet on those either, but if & when I do I'll definitely hook you up!

Marcus,

19x9 with 245/35 all around will definitely work for you but they are not worry free

You'll need to worry about potholes and curbs all the time and better get yourself a good lifetime balance deal

John,

Just get some Nitto 555 tires. With the prices, they are pretty decent tires.

Jacob, I don't know if I want to go with NT555 again, if its for performance. (looking at force induction REAL SOON!) They are great over all tires, but I prefer the AVS, and S03s. The AVS is on sale right now from tirerack for around $250 (275/30zr19) but do not last as long as S03s. I'm really stuck here, oh well, I'll figure it out

No question! I've had lifetime balancing from Discount for a while!

TXStyle, you can do 255/35-19...245 is a tad bit undersized for 9" wide wheel...so long as your offsets are OK, you should be ok...but in front, you may rub a little bit more than with a 8.5" wide wheel (which doesn't rub at all)...do you know what the offsets are for your wheels?
