Ordering my 17x9 +38 x4 kiwami's monday.. What tires do you guys recommend? I was thinking 245/40.. But what do you guys recommend for a good street tire? I drive my car about 90 miles a day so I want something with good treadwear but still decent performance when wanted.. Ive previously ran v12 evo's, and bfg gforce sport comp-2's. The BFG's ive been able to get a little over 20k so far on the front with one auto-x and still plenty of life, but the rears only lasted about 9k 
I was satisfied with their performance as im not that experienced on track. I know ill need to play with the camber up front a bit to fit so I plan on realigning and zeroing out the toe in the rear vs stock settings hopefully that will remedy some of the rear tire wear. Thanks in advance.

quick question guys...
I'm running a set of 17x9 +45 all around with 255/40/17 Nitto NT05s, my rears are flared out so i don't have any issues there but my front fenders are rolled up pretty good and running -2.0 camber in front but i am still rubbing when i turn hard or if i hit a dip on the highway
So i got another set of wheels to 17x8 +45 FRONTS
Should i get 245/40/17 up front? think it will still rub with it?
Or
Should i just get 235/40/17? is that a weird size? never really see much people running 235s
