Alignement specs for a slightly agressive street setup?

I recently ordered some coilovers with camber plates etc and was wondering what yall ran for a mainly daily driver but possibly autocross in the future.

only real mods atm will be coilovers and aftermarket wheels

Just got mine done a couple days ago. (fixed height springs and camber plates)

F Camber -1.3deg, FL toe +0.11 / FR toe +0.13

R Camber -1.3deg, RL toe +0.11 / RR toe +0.11

I think my toe numbers were in minutes, so maybe my conversion is off.

How is tire wear for you, specifically in terms of the inner/outer tread wearing faster? I recently installed 18x8.5 ET35 wheels on 245/40/18, and I'm finding I need a bit more camber. Currently -2.3f -1.7r, but thinking about -2.5f -2.2r to ease the mild rub I get.

Front: -2.5° camber, .06 total toe in

Rear: -2.2° camber, .31 total toe in

Remember that toe is really what kills your tires. The low toe in the front also creates a very nice neutral feeling that I love. I hear that going too low for toe in the front such as 0 degrees total can make the front end feel a little too unstable.

For a daily we try to shoot for -2 front camber with zero toe(1/16" in if you want better straight line tracking and stability), rear -2 or less with 1/8" of toe-in.
