GTS track alignment specs

Hey everyone, does anyone know the M4 GTS track alignment specs, specifically the toe settings?

Thanks in advance

Would the effective toe change if the camber values are higher in the front and lower in the rear?

I would suggest you look thru the "alignment spec" thread in here and run one of those more aggressive setups on your GTS. ex. -2.8-3.2F -1.8-2.0R, 0F toe 0.1-0.15R toe total. The BMW specs are pretty conservative.

With 0 toe in front, I was cording the inside shoulders of my front tires (with -2.7 camber), probably due to excessive scrubbing under braking. I found stock front toe worked best for me.

I aligned using GTS toe specs and -2.5 front and -1.6 rear. Started a fresh set of track tires last event hopefully the switch from 0 toe will provide an extra day or two on the fronts as well as some cording relief from daily tires

I'm curious how you guys get away with less than -3.5 camber in the front.
On both Ar1 and Cup2 unless I'm in the -3.8->-4.1 I'm wearing outside way too much and also tested tore temp with the pyro probe
Both cup2 and ar1 I target 32-33hot

Ive been running 2.6/1.8 - 1/16 toe front for the last year.
I get 5 track days (5x20min a day) on Nitto nt01. My inner fronts always cord first.

My OEM Michelin 4S fronts definitely wore faster on the street with this alignment. The outside was real fresh compared to inner.

Roughly how many track miles have you run on this set of tires?

Do you find the 265 F able to turn the car well or are you getting understeer?
Thx

Yes, the car does turn in well with the 265 tire. I will be going to a 18x11 wheel and a 295 or 305 tire next season. I'm curious how it feels with more tire grip.
