New to the mod game - Wheel/Tire question

Hey guys, been lurking the forums for a bit now, and finally looking to upgrade my car and looking to get new wheels/tires after running stock wheels and tires for 52K miles.

I’ve been noodling over getting Ambits RE02, but after reading around, the size they have would just be a bit too meaty for what I’m looking for, for running stock suspensions. So I’m currently considering XXR 530s 17x8.25 +35, but now I’m unsure of what tire size to get on them. I’m thinking of putting on either Hankook Ventus S1 Noble2 or Continental EmtremeContact DWS 06, both as 245/40R17. I just daily drive my car, but I commute about 100 miles a day for work, so looking for some tires with good life on them, and it seems like both the Hankook and Continental have 50K warranty on them.

Any thoughts and advice would be greatly appreciated!
Jon

EDIT: I think the verdict is sitting with XXR 530 17x8.25 + 35, and putting some General G-Max AS-05, 225/45 on them. Been reading some good reviews on them, and Tire Rack seems to have a positive look on them, so confidence is instilled.
