Too aggressive for DD?

Since the guys at the shops around here really don't seem to know what they're talking about...Just looking for some opinions from people who might already be running a similar setup.

Do you guys think that a 255/35 on a 11" rim (rear) would be too aggressive for a dd? About maybe 10-20 miles a day.

Not at all. I have a 235/35 on an 11 for daily and I drive 40 miles daily during weekdays and over 100 miles on weekends daily. Add that with close to -8 camber, I say you're fine. For reference purposes:

235/30 on 10.5 with almost -5 camber in front
235/35 on 11 with almost -8 camber in rear

I'm actually going to drop down to a 235/30 in the rear as well when it's time for new tires.

Yup, here ya go. On Hankook Ventus V4. I might go with Generals and if I do then I'd do a 225/30 since they run larger. If I go with Nexen's, I'll do a 245/30 since they run small. Hankooks run true but I don't like how they bulge after time with my more than normal stretch.

Possibly. A 225/30 General if I do. They run large so it'll be like running a 235/30 Hankook.
