255/35 RE-71's for the most part is what I use the wheels for. I have been running a 235/40 Cup2 on the front with 255 PSS's on the rear for road driving, just allows me to dial .5* of camber out for better wear. I had these tires kicking around otherwise I'd run the RE-71's as my second wheel set (not DD) and stick with my 19's on ps4s
About -2.5" on the street is the most I can get away with, without rubbing issues. I prefer the way the car feels with about -2.9* anyway, and -2.0* in the rear for almost all alignments, I don't put anough km's on the car for the added wear to be an issue anyway. I'll also be raising the average ride ride a bit this year, it should also allow me a bit more wiggle room to dial out some camber when driving the car as a daily driver.
I run a 7.5mm spacer up front to allow the tire the bit of extra clearance from the coilover spring/collar as it's pretty tight. Next option is a shorter length replacement coilover spring and I can get down to a smaller spacer but otherwise it works just fine.
