Hey guys, I'm gonna be running 17x9+35 and 17x9.5+35 and want to run 255's all around. I have -2 camber up front and -3 in the rear, fenders have been rolled and pulled, should I stick to 255's or step down to 245's?

The tires I'm contemplating are:
Star specs 2
Rs3
Yokohama advan neova ad08
I'm looking for a tire that will last more than 5,000 miles, just daily driven and no track time. Thanks for your help!

The rear might be a little difficult to fit with a 255. You might need a decent quarter pull and at least 3.5 camber...245 will work easily at 9.5+35 with no pull, roll only and minimal camber. The first 2 tires choices will def. give you way over 5K. You'll get more than 5K from an r-comp lol with no track time. No experience with the Yokos..Good luck !

Appreciate the help! I'm really leaning towards the yokohamas but I want to hear other opinions on the tires before I pull the trigger on a set, it looks like I can't go wrong with any of the 3

Are you looking for any performance? If you aren't I'd go with some Continental DW series tires or DWS series tires. I'm running them on my S and the treadwear is 400. Things last forever.

That's another tire I'm thinking about as well, but wanted to give the tires listed above a shot and see how grippy they are!
