Alignment specs on lower profile tires

I have a set of 17x7.5" wheels ordered for my 08 that haven't arrived yet, and I'm going to go with a 205/40 series tire which will keep the circumference and the revs/mile to within 1 revolution of the factory set up. When the wider wheels are installed on the vehicle. Does anyone know what the camber and toe specs should be closer set to? My Fit's a DD and sees mainly highway everywhere I go. I might see a rougher terrain MAYBE once a month. I'm not hard on the car, don't drift, don't race, nothing stupid.

Thanks for all advice!

Factory alignment settings should still work fine. They even worked for me on the track on 16" wheels and 205/45 rubber...and I drive mine on the streets daily too.

I think the settings should be printed on the backside of your owner's manual.

Thanks. I'll probably get the alignment done one day next week when the wheels and tires get here. I'm going with 17s and 205/40 tires.

Found on page 245 in the 2008 Fit manual.

Thanks Hootie, I never look at the owner's manual anymore. Just got married a month ago, and it always seems I'm too busy to even try to do anything for myself, Lol!

That looks really nice! Lowering will come later, gonna get used to the new wheel/tire ride first. Terrain here sucks to be too low.
