Everett, I had run my Notch at three notches low for years, and it
suffered. I recently re-did the whole(!) front end, and while I was at
it, I bumped it back up two for a total of -1 notch. I have 165SR/15's
on 5.5X15 Porsche steel rims (I don't know the offset), but even that 2
notches (+ 1 alignment) made all the difference. They don't rub on hard
turns, and they don't bottom out under full loads anymore either.
