Default Suspension permanently in rack settings??

Hi there.
I am new to this forum, live in Barcelona, Spain, and we have a few nice tracks in the neighborhood. I have a Z 51 non-magnetic ride and I’m using 1 inch spacers with the original wheels and tires with the camber setting at 3° front and 2.5 in the back the wheels fit just perfect.
does anybody have experience with the tire wear in that setting? I would prefer to leave it in that set up instead of changing back-and-forth all the time. Any hints would be greatly appreciated.

Your toe settings are going to be important for inner tire wear. Get them close to zero

Thanks, that’s what I hoped for and thanks again, Barcelona is a great place to live. We are originally from Germany but due to the political situation there and all the violence with cops that can’t do anything we moved over here. And for motorsport enthusiasts there are way more opportunities to enjoy the hobby over here.
