Default Suggested Camber Settings?

Just ordered some new wheels, sizes are 18x8.5 +45 18x9.5 +48. Tire sizes will be 225/40/18 and 255/35/18. My fenders are rolled, rear bumper is shaved and relocated tab and im lowered on Tein S-Techs. Can anyone suggest what camber settings to try out first to get these to sit nice and flush? I was thinking along the lines of -1.25F -2.25R but would like to hear what you guys have to say. Thanks for the help.

-6 huh? I bet you'd be hard pressed to see negative camber greater than -2* front and -2.5* to -2.75* in the rear.

Caster is usually around 6* in the front.

You will need be slammed to get that kind of negative camber, no way on S-Techs. Regardless, you won't need to run anywhere near that much in your case. I'd start around -1.5 front, -2.5 rear.
