Tire size recommendations 8.5/9.5 19' et45

Looking for tire recommendations in regards to size and brand.
First hand experience with similar wheel specs please.

I would like to do little to no fender work.slight fender roll would be okay.
Will be going for absolute minimal tire/fender gap, no "tucking".
Im currently on stock m sport suspension.i will be doing coil-overs in the next two months.

In order of importance.
1.grip/handling dry weather
2.mileage
3.road nose/comfort

Wheel specs as followed:
19'
45et
8.5/9.5

Garage List
The best tire IMO for your importance categories is the Michelin PSS. However, I have wheels with very similar dimensions so I know from experience that if you want to get a good tucked look, you will not get it with the PSS (my mods are listed below). Other factors will be how much camber you are running, how low you go, etc. I even modded my rear hubs to tuck my wheels in further so I could run wider rear tires.

My first set of tires with these wheels were ToyoT1Rs, 225/35fr, 255/30r, they easily fit, lasted a very long time, quiet, decent traction. I now have Nitto 555s 225/35 up front, but in the rear they are only available 265/30, I believe that would fit and tuck easier than the 255/30 PSSs that I'm currently using.

Some with our size wheels use 245/35 rears to try to get things to fit. I assume you searched and saw a lot of threads discussing wheels this size. Basically no one has found a perfect combo, it really depends on how much rubbing or how much camber or stretched tire you will tolerate.

You're not going to get a 265 tire on there with a drop and a 19x9.5 et 45 rear wheel and no rubbing without rolling the fenders at least a little.

I'd do a 255/30 tire first. If you have enough room, try a 265 next year.

what coil-overs do you have in mind? michelins have always been #1 on my list (will run wider than other brands), great at absorbing road noise and love the grip/response. I'd stick with the 225/35 - 255/30. I've seen a few threads with this particular wheel/tire spec and it looks great. may consider rolling the rear fender to be safe and avoid any rubbing. don't forget, offset is the game changer when you decide to go with a wider wheel/tire setup.
