I run -2.7 front and rear, that is how I get even wear, anything less and the outside edge goes first.

Toe KILLS more than camber does...

Did you read what you linked? Do you drive aggresively or track your car? Ask it in the RACING FORUM. Which kills tires more Toe or Camber. Call Jim at Tirerack.

From tire rack:

CAMBER:

"Appropriate camber settings that take into account the vehicle and driver's aggressiveness will help balance treadwear with cornering performance. For street-driven vehicles, this means that tire wear and handling requirements must be balanced according to the driver's needs. The goal is to use enough negative camber to provide good cornering performance while not requiring the tire to put too much of its load on the inner edge while traveling in a straight line. Less negative camber (until the tire is perpendicular to the road at zero camber) typically will reduce the cornering ability, but results in more even wear."

TOE:

"Additionally the vehicle's toe is one of the most critical alignment settings relative to tire wear. A toe setting that is just a little off its appropriate setting can make a huge difference in their wear. Consider that if the toe setting is just 1/16-inch off of its appropriate setting, each tire on that axle will scrub almost seven feet sideways every mile! Extend it out and you'll discover that rather than running parallel to each other, the front tires will scrub over 1/4-mile sideways during every 100 miles of driving! Incorrect toe will rob you of tire life."
Yeah...but the S2000 has like 6mm rear toe in. Couple that with really agressive negative camber. You have a tire eating monster.

I wouldnt bother to get low offset wheels like on 1 piece wheels.Aside from maybe some concaveness it will look the same as a high offset wheel.Now if you have a multi piece thats a different story.Big lips kick ass <3
