Tweeters at ear level for the L/C/R speakers, and surrounds elevated above ear level by about 2' (might want to go closer to ear level if you listen to a lot of multichannel music).

Generally, it's a good idea to get the speakers away from the front walls as much as possible, but there's no concrete rule of thumb here. You should pay more attention to the speaker alignment than anything. The ITU standard that professional studios use in their monitoring installations specifies the L/R speakers at a 30 degree angle off-center, and the surround speakers at 110 degrees off-center. Make sure that you match the levels on all the speakers and enter the correct distances from your seating position into the receiver/processor setup.
