I have a quick question bout what tires i should get on my new rims.. Its 19x8.5 inches, with 45 offset. should i run with the same tire size i have which is 245/35/19? will the offset throw me off? Thnx in advance...

Offset will not effect your set-up. I dont see any suspension mods in your list, and even if you had a drop of any sort you shouldnt have any problems with 8.5" wheel. I run 245/40 on my 19" x 8.5".

Offset could be a factor in choosing tire size but you'll be fine without a big drop. But you should get a drop first or your wheels will look weird. What kind of wheels are you looking to get?

right now I'm on a money budget so I'm buying my rims one at a time lol I know.. anyways I have my mind set on the avarus av6 black. Well I'm thinking about dropping my car with the new tein s springs but 2" all around I think is low for me. Also is it possible to go 255/35ZR19 or that's pushing it? Maybe 245/40/19 as stated above on the first post?

I've got a little wiggle room dropped on coilovers running 20x8.5 +40 rims and 245/35/20 tires, so you should be alright either way.
