need some help guys! please?! lol

ok so i looked in the tire and wheel section for what people have said to be a nice sticky tire but also have good tread life, ive found a few so if possible id like some people to tell me which ones i should get.

BFG KDW2
Bridgestone RE760
Hankook Ventus V112 EVO K110

ive seen a lot of guys saying go with one of them. which one do you prefer!?!?!

and also my plan is to be lowered on SSC springs with stock tc wheels, how wide could i go with these tires with out rubbing? 235? 245?

thanks in advance guys!

i have Hankook V12s and i think they are ok. really quiet and a decently sticking tire. good rain traction and such havent really tracked them though.

dont know about running, im thinkin about 245's as well, but those are to wide for a 7.5" tire (stock). 245 is like a 8-9" tire, you would be bulging like a truck, seems like a lot of stress for thin sidewalls.
