I'm running the RE 050A Pole Position in 225/45/17 and 255/40/17, a much grippier tire than the OEM compound and size combination, though not quite up to the RE 01R.'s (I have driven them all back to back on AP2's) I have 1.6F and 2.0R neg camber and I run 33 PSI F and 30 PSI R at autoX. That's what I get the fastest times at. seems soft but the clock doesn't lie. YMMV
I run -1.5 up front 30-33psi and -2.25 in the rear at 28-30
You can add more braking and cornering grip with higher - camber and lower psi. All within reason.

Hi, I've always believed that when you drive hard and tire wear begins to show more usage on the a certain section then you need to alter your camber settings to suit your usage characteristics. It's worked for me in my previous car which was traditionally supposed to run less camber on the rear but I followed my usage pattern and handling feel to equalize F and R camber and the results were very good.
With a rwd I agree that the rears will probably go off first. How long have you seen the rears take for the OEM RE050 ?
Part of the fun of having a car to me would be trying out differing settings according to feel. Unfortunately, I may not have access to the expertise you have which could save the hassle of trial and error.
Just a quiet stretch of deserted roads far from populated areas in the dead of night. You can call it touge if you like haha
