I've heard that with wider tires you have to run less camber. I'm planning on 225-45-17's and I'm wondering what is optimum. On my particular car, the camber on the front never goes negative anyway but I'm planning on fixing that with either camber plates or "crash bolts".

On the street, only time will tell as you want even tire wear.
On the track, a tire pyrometer will tell you if you're getting even heat distribution.

personally I dont consider a 225/45R17 to be a "wide" tire on an FC, meaning I dont think you will need to make any changes to your camber to fit the tires under stock fenders, unless you have an offset that doesnt work well.

even then,
for wide tires, people run negative camber to tuck the top of the tire inward to clear the fender lip. you may not have enough adjustability in your suspension to run some extremely wide tires, but there are components you could buy to add adjustability... camber plates are the best way up front.
