I got a stock KA and run
Front: 215/45/17 Hankook RS3 at 30psi on a 17x9 +7
-4* camber, 0 toe, 7* caster (Planning to move up to 235s up front soon and moving to a x9.5 wheel)

Rear: 235/45/17 at 35-40 psi (depending on the course layout and the tire compound) on a 17x10 -8
-2* camber, 0 toe
I've ran a variety of tires in the rear from very cheap tires to more expensive ones: Direzza DZ101 Star Spec, Falken Rt615k, Hankook RS2, Hankook RS3, Federal 595ss, Federal 595RSR, Triangle TR968
I'm not an expert but this is what I noticed:
Different types of tires in the rear need to be driven differently. Some might have more side bite or forward bite, some will have the grip off throttle or on throttle, they also might act differently when they get heat into them and being smoked out. If you are just learning I'd recommend to just pick a rear tire you can easily afford and stick with it until you get consistent before trying different tires.
