Will these tires work w/ my setup?

Ok i'm looking at purchasing a set of Axis Hiros in a staggered setup ((gunmetal)) for my Winning Blue 8, with the sizes listed below, from a fellow 8'er .

Sizes:
front 19x8.5 45mm 235/35/19, hancook k104's
rear 19x9.5 55mm 275/30/19, hancook k104's

Well my car has been lowered with Tein S Tech Springs and Koni shocks and I was wondering if there would be any clearance or rubbing problems with these wheels.

Posting here late at night so figured a random 8'er could answer this question before the person selling me these wheels, or atleast before I go to bed

I have almost the exact same setup. Same on the front, but can't see how he cleared the caliper. I was at +38 mm, and had to get a spacer as I (barely rubbed the caliper). On the back you might rub given your drop, but the offset is so deep, I don't think you will. But again I can't see how you have such deep offsets with such a wide tire.

Fronts clear the calipers due to the hiro's spoke design compared to your st2's. They have more bend allowing caliper to clear.
The rears don't rub with my MS springs/shocks. Still have room for more drop.
