Default What tires should I get?

So it's beginning to look like the weather has turned for the better around here and I still have my blizzaks on. I just picked up a new set of wheels and the specs are as follows:

Front 18x8.5 45mm offset
Rear 18x9.5 38mm offset

I have test fitted the rims w/out tires and they look awesome, but I'm not sure what tires to go with. I would like to stick with bridgestone, but I'm not married to them. I have had a set of hankooks in the past and they were awesome summer tires. I'm not auto x'ing or anything just looking for something reasonable and correct for the s. Any suggestions?

The problem is with those wheels they are going to rub on the fenders without rolling them and running negative camber. If you are looking for the best performance take a look at the RE-11 Bridgestone. They are exceptional and there is a 100.00 mail in rebate on the 4 tires.
If I can help let me know.

Hey Tim, so how did those Blizzaks work out for you? Do you like them? Anyway, I highly recommend the Bridgestone RE-11's. I have them on my Ap1, and man they are incredible! Plus as Jim mentioned, they have $100 rebate too. Yokohama Advan AD08's are another great option, or Dunlop Direzza Star Specs if you're looking for something cheaper.
