195/60 x 14" - camber and toe settings?
A mate of mine is restoring a replica of a lotus 7 that was built in the 60's or 70's (very narrow chassis, with no tunnel structure at
all).
It has Triumph Herald uprights, and 195/60 x 14" tyres. What camber and toe settings would be recommended for this car?
Cheers

Camber and toe settings should not change but the wheel offset might.
If you draw a line through the top and bottom balljoint axis and work out where it will touch the ground (wheel diameter) the point at which it
touches should end up at the centre of the tyre tread.
Basically the wheel turning axis should intersect the centre of the tread pattern.

The book factory 1960s Elan settings were
Overall toe-in 1/8" +- 1/16"
Camber 0 degrees +- 0.5 degrees
