Default Camber specs. need advice

Hello S2ki, need advice on camber numbers for alignment.

I installed SSR Type-C RS with RE01-R tires on my car.
sizes are: 17x8 + 48 (front) and 17x9 +55 (rear), and 225-255 tires accordingly.

Got heavy bump few days ago and noticed a rubbing, then saw a mark on a rear tire. It wasn't so bad, I could hear it but didn't feel the impact or something.

I know that it can be fixed by setting negative camber, so my question is what the numbers should be set?.
I read that -1 is stock number. How far should go with that negative setup?

Any handling problems with negative big camber ???
Will tires wear irregularly after that?

Just run the most negative camber that Honda specs for the car. While they are aligning the car I would recommend the least amount of toe in that Honda specs for the rear. This is going to make the car handle better, give you more clearance and the rear tires should get better tread life.

Jim, do you (by any chance) have the exact numbers that you would run in this set-up?
