How much front/rear camber is necessary to run Pirelli slicks

I am in the process of setting up my 2016 gt350R with Pirelli 305/690R19 up front and 315/705R19 in the rear on the stock CF rims. I have MM front camber plates and Steeda adjustable rear camber arms. Looking recommendations for camber/toe settings. Rear fender clearance looks close..
Thanks

Start with Ford Performance recommendation for track settings as a baseline. It will depend on where you run. Your tire sizes are spec sizes so the clearances shouldn’t be an issue. Looks like your lowered a bit.

Kevin,
The pirelli slicks are a taller tire then sc2’s.
The OE sizes are 305/30/19 (26.2") and 315/30/19 (26.4"). The Pirelli P Zero DH compound slicks in 305/690/19 (27") and 315/705/19 (27.7") for the rears. I have the stock R springs in the car so it’s not lowered. Think I need greater than neg 2.5 rear camber to clear the rear fender ??Hoping someone has run this set up.

I see. I didn’t realize they were taller.

You'll want to follow the Pirelli specs, not Ford's...I believe they call for between -3 and -3.5.

I'm running DH's on my lowly GT PP and I can tell you -2.7 wasn't enough last year. I've since moved to -3.15 this spring. I should have feedback after my May 12/13 weekend at Mid Ohio.
 
I running -2.5 degrees on the front and -2.0 on the rear. Using Toyo R888R, 295/30-19 square setup. Handles well on the track.
