Default Camber/alignment ? with new wheels

Enkei PF01 17x9 +60 mated to Hankook RS3 255/40/17. Square setup. Stock suspension. Didn't touch the wheel liner tabs or anything.

Going to bring it in for an alignment tomorrow, what should i tell them i want set for the camber and such?

I've never messed with camber/caster/toe angles, only have a brief understanding of camber and its importance. Just starting to open my eyes to the suspension world.

Again, all stock suspension running the above setup. What should i tell them?

Thanks in advance, i appreciate it! Continuing to search as well.

If you're just daily driving and looking for something stable just do as close to 0 toe and 0 camber as possible. Caster is usually pretty irrelevant unless you have a serious issue and it's way off.

^^^ NO

At stock ride height you will want to max out the front camber, it will end up being around -2. This is a good intermediate/performance street alignment, but also less risk to your stock fenders with that tire/wheel package. Toe should be 0 and caster in the stock range which is about 6.

The rear camber can be less aggressive, -1 to -2. Toe for the rear is best at min range stock to even less. 0.2 to 03. TOTAL. Less toe will offer better tire longevity, but you want some to allow the car to hold a turn since the stock suspension toes out under compression making it pretty tail happy/unstable.
