Alignment with 17X10 +45 & coilovers
So as the title states, what specs should I be looking at for my AP1 with 17X10 +45 CE28s with a 255/40 tire at all four corners? My spring rates on the coilovers are 10K front and 9K rear. I'm looking at a one finger or zero finger gap at all four corners and the car won't see any track time.
I've read that less rear toe in wouldn't kill the tires as quickly either, should I run as little as possible?
Also, how much negative camber can I get from the OEM components front and rear? Should I buy camber bolts before installing the coilovers so I can take care of it in one shot, or will I be fine with what's on the car?

my camber is something like -2.5*f and =3.5*r and all i did was lower it.
front caster was maxed out to something like 6.5*
all i did was have the guy at the alignment shop set my front toe to 0 and my rear toe to like .3 in on both sides.
you might get lucky. brake check did mine and i bought their lifetime alignment for like $114, so every time i come in to have it checked, it's only like $3
edit: i'm running 17x8 +45f on 215/45/17s and 17x9 +45r on 225/45/17s with a 5mm spacer.
my front fenders are hammered, but my wheels are kinda sunk in with the amount of camber i have. i can prolly get away with 2* or 1.7ish

Ok cool. So I should be fine without camber bolts and whatnot.
I'd like to be around -2.5* of camber, I'll see what happens. I bought an Eastwood fender roller so I can take my time and make sure it looks proper.
