Wheel setup for 800+ mile a week commute??

So it's been 5+ years since I've owned a 350Z. Back then I was running 19x8.5 / 19x9.5 +25/+30 TE37s and I thought that was an agressive setup. Ha! My how things have changed.

So I just picked up an 06 Coupe to use as a daily driver on my 800+ mile a week commute. It needs tires so naturally that means new wheels and suspension. I need a setup that's going to fall within OEM camber settings for max tire life. Also rubbing isn't an option, nor is rolling the fenders.

My initial thoughts are to go with a 19x9.5 +22 / 19x10.5 +22 wheel setup with 245/35 and 275/35. Drop would be mild probably just an inch or so.

Does anyone have suggestions for someone who puts that many miles on a car? I want something drama free, but it still has to look good.

Thanks in advance!

Buy a beater man. Something good on gas and runs 185/55/15

That's a solid set up, but you're going to burn through tires every 6 months.
