Interesting, I also had a minimum camber of around -2.5deg on that corner!
Which was pretty close to what I wanted anyway.
Separately I think the roads today up here are mega greasy and slippery. I just picked up a 370z with new tyres and 1st gear is basically un useable !!
Hopefully you'll feel happier when you get a run on some nice warm and clean roads! Sid you get new rear tyres yet?

No not yet but its not for lack of trying 
there seems to be a tyre shortage at the moment in the size I'm after, 245/40/17...
Interestingly, all the local tyre places I've visited seem to think the tyre sizes I have on at the moment are correct!! But they are obviously well off. You'd think they would be trying to sell me tyres not put me off
The problem I foresee is clearance with the wider tyres, I'm already very close to the arch now, I think the extra 10mm would be a little too much. TBH I think the offsets on these buddy club wheels are wrong
the backs seem to stick out quite a bit...
370z? The Datsun in for another service?

Havn't got the hang of posting pics since the update, but hopefully this is a copy of my "standard" geo on a 56 plate on the link, there seem to be differances between yours and mine (Whilst trying to translate degrees & minuets to degrees decimal). Now I know the geo has been messed around by honda over the years, just wondered as your OP said you went for the "standard" set up for your year did they take into account the 17 inch wheels? I have known some very numpty mistakes made by tyre people.
And I think the rig they used was a Hunter as the print layout is the same as mine.

And can someone let me know how to post pics from my gallery!

I can only presume they took the 17's into account although I dont think there is any option to select wheel size on the rig. Surely though it wouldn't make any difference?
To post a pic just copy the web address as you've done in your post but just put (img) before, and (/img) after but use the square brackets [] instead
