Aligmnent for 305/35/R19 square

Gents,

I was a Laguna last weekend, trying out my new set of Apex wheels with goodyear S3R tire. I am very pleased with the new setup, however, I noticed a bit of under-steer in corner entry and the outer edge in front is wearing fast.

Car is set with track alignment, ie -2deg front -1.5 deg rear and 0.1 deg total toe.

It used to work great with the OEM 285 rims and tires, but I wonder if you put more camber with a wider front tire ?

I DD my car so I will not go above -2 on front otherwise I will cord the inside, any thoughts on camber plates ?

Also, tire pressures was 37 PSI hot, and I am running almost the same wheel offset as stock SS 1LE wheels (ET 11 front and ET 43 rear)

Cheers
TM

I am running -3* front and seem to have good wear on track, I do flip mount my tires when need to use the other shoulder to get even wear.

Curious to know if anyone else is going higher then -2 on FA on a SS 1LE

I don't daily it, but I do drive it to track and around some. Stock my wear was very good with -2.6F and 1.6R. Zero F toe. Now with the G3R square I'm at -2.9F and -1.9R and track wear is perfect. Rotating them helps a lot. This is after 12 x 30min sessions

Thanks, the wear looks very good especially after that much track time !
I will try to get closer to - 2.7 / 2.9 deg F for trackdays and go back to -2 F for DD. This is where a good camber plate can be handful.
