due to the offset you have to run -3 camber to avoid arch rubbin.

on track ok but on road tramlines like a bugger

Pretty much as Shimmy said. I loved it on track but was a bit of a pig on road. With the right set up the front end is absolutely nailed on but only worth doing in warm/dry conditions and tracks where you need a good front end. I don't mind running the setup for a quick road run to a track but for touring forget it. Best way to do square set up is with 18" wheels and the right off set. It's a bit easier on road then as you can run slightly less extreme camber. Ask Shimmy about that.

I only run it occasionally to get rid of my 265 Cup mountain of part worn tyres.

cslsuperfan - as they say, wheel rub is problem, and defo if you were tracking it fast in a compression.
Im running square set up on 18" TD's, and found -3 a bit too much, and rubbed inside tyre edges out too quick, I run -2.5 and get a more even tyre wear.
