Default Lets talk about alignment settings.

Well since their isnt a specific suspension section on s2ki, I figured I would post here.

Somehow I rub a fender liner clip running 17x7.5+50 CE28 VOLKS with a 225/45 front tire. I run the OEM Euro alignment specs.

I want to add more -camber to the front, mainly to prevent the rubbing. Anyone have any suggestions? I am fine in the rear, no rubbing at all, just the front. I was thinking about taking a heat gun and fender roller to the fronts, but thats not really the right thing to do.

I normally take my car to Acura for my alignments, their really isnt a good alignment shop that I trust in my area.

i run this exact same setup (if by Euro you mean UK) and i have no rubbing at all, your suspension must be too low.

AP1 was made for 16's. AP2 for 17's. Severe cornering and or bumps can cause rubbing issues. Check auto x thread above for all the alignments the champs are using.

It would be nice to see some track alignments versus the autocross alignments. for that matter it would be nice to have a track FAQ to go along with the autocross FAQ.

Other than toe, track alignments should pretty much be the same. All a AutoX is a short road course without the high speeds. IMO, of course.

When I went to the track the other week with my autocross setup, it wasn't good. It was way to loose. I'm sure this was a combination of many things besides just the alignment, but I didn't have a good reference going in. I think the great autocross FAQ has probably spoiled me, but it would be nice to have a compilation of the types of setups people have used and know work.
