(so edumacational)

I recently picked up some 18x8.5 +38 wheels and I'm going to give Continental a shot with their new ExtremeContact Sport (225/40R18) preliminary testing seems favorable, I guess we'll see.
Mounted and balanced including TPMS, this combo weighs in at 38.4lbs per corner.
So I have shed a little weight...

Two questions:
Do you think the larger wheel diameter will have a negative effect on initial turn-in even if the weight is down?

I plan on a set of RCE Yellows on OEM struts for now. I have WL camber bolts and R/LCA in hand.
Any recommendations on alignment specs for this combo?

...mmmmmm, oil cooler...
Hard to say on turn-in, so many things contribute. Also, relative to what?

Max camber up front. If you're getting parts to set it where you want it, I like to suggest start at -3f/-2r and dial via tire temps from there. I doubt you'll approach -3 up front.
