Well, I think you need more than 1.2* of camber to get away with the setup you want, though it depends on your setup. What're you dropped on?


For reference, this is a 255/40/18 on swifts.



I'm running 1.5* of camber up front right now.


I presume (of course) you have front camber arms...my recommendation would be about 1.5-1.9* of camber, assuming you run the car in the twisties occasionally. I found with under 1.5* of camber, you often don't have sufficient camber through turns. When I did temp readings on my tires after the dragon, I still had hotter exteriors by a significant amount, even with 1.5* of camber.
