I assume you’re talking about the Daihatsu Cuore with the “Mira Gino” front end conversion 

if so it’s also turbo converted and makes ~100kw from the 1.0L 3cyl

This is what the look like normally. Except we only got the 2 doors locally

I purchased some (used but new to me) Yokohama A050 Mediums to try out for the first time and fitted them up to one of my sets of Rays TE Fortesst's. Sizes are 235/45R17 front and 255/40R17 rear.

They are very chonky compared to the same sized AD09 on the same sized rim.

Some fiddling will be needed to make them fit.

How much camber do these like as a general rule? I imagine more than the rear camber of -1.5' I typically run. So my plan is to target -3.8 front and -2 rear

You're going to need all that and more to keep them from rubbing at the rear anyway, is my guess.

Yeah it is wild how much wider the

Yokohama A050 in 255/40R17 

vs

Yokohama AD09 in 255/40R17

sits on the 17x9 +22

considering its even from the same brand and adjacent product family
