I currently have 1mm, 3mm, and 7mm shims, but may pick up some more to play with.
I have manual alignment gauges(toe/caster/camber) so once I have my car aligned I can measure the differences I make by adding shims.
Sounds like you got everything you need to figure it out. Just as an FYI, 16mm is what will roughly get you -2.5deg in the front.

The rule of thumb for front spacing is 10mm to set -1.0 deg camber (GT3 front spec for street). Isn’t -2.5 deg overkill for predominately street use, on street shoes?

Not for me. I have about 2.5* all the way around. Its great in the corners and stable at 135mph. Im not sure if my full areo helps the high speed side of the equation.
