NT01 suggests between -2.5 and -5.0 degree camber. As long as I can get that minimum I'll be happy

I think you misunderstood my statement. It NEEDS more negative camber to prolong tire life on track. The car needs 2.7-2.8 I'd say based on my front wear.

You trying to fit those wheels under the fenders? Or just want all the cambers?

(or both?)

Based on the tire compound or your 2017 1LE?

That's Nitto's spec. I've run NT01's for years... they're happy in the upper negative 2's...2.7-2.9. Just like every extreme street tire & 100 treadwear track tire... Nittos, Toyo's, PSC2 etc. Too many novice and intermediate drivers go overboard on negative camber (-3.0 +) at the expense of braking and acceleration stability.

Based on the compound. I might not be able to give more than -2.5 camber and I think it would be a sweet spot (-2.4 or -2.5). I'll see that this week . The guy who got -2.5 camber was running a different springs

Dial it in with a tire pyrometer, anything else is guesswork. The car need only the camber it needs, no more, no less. Shoot for a 10 degree spread across the tire hottest inner, middle between, outer coldest. Tire pressure sets mid temp only, has no other purpose in a track setting than to get the middle temp between the inner and outer temps.
