I started here

Camber -0.48

Caster +3.77

Toe in 0.03"

Then I took some measurements and added shims to get another degree of camber. 1 degree of camber is equal to roughly 0.5" of tire movement at the top. The other issue i had when trying to figure this out was turning radius. Turning radius can be determined by wheel base/tan X, where X equals the max angle the tire can turn from centerline. So a stock chevy camaro can turn roughly 29 degrees which equates a radius of 18.7' or 37.4 feet curb to curb.

With the tru turn i estimated i was going to be somewhere between 22- 24 degrees best case scenario, which is 44 feet curb to curb. Maybe I could live with that if i felt comfortable the tire wasn't going to live on the fender lip.
