I'm currently running stock wheels with RCE Yellow springs and a combination of camber bolts and Velox camber plates to get about -3.3 camber up front (gives approx even tire wear for mostly track use).
How much camber can you add with bolts before running into clearance problems on the stock size springs/perch with 17x9 ET42 and 245/40-17 tires? (probably SX2s)...
I'll try to measure my current clearance this weekend - thought I'd ask for now..
Thanks!

Since noone seems to answer you, I can try to help. I run 17x9 +35 on my track wheels and alignment is -3.8 neg camber. A 255 tire (R888R) is the widest I've fit and I can barely pass a credit card between the tire and strut but 245 tires had about 5mm clearance. Considering your wheels have 7mm less inner clearance to the spring but you are running a less wide tire, I'd say it will fit with the camber you want. Its going to be tight, but should fit (im assuming you are running coilovers with relatively narrow spring diameter, meaning linear springs not progressive like some coilovers have).
Edit: just saw you say you have RCE yellows, on stock shocks, so Im not sure its going to fit with that much camber after all then. Maybe at -3 it will fit, but not much more past that.
