FR-7F and overhang

I have the Fidelity Research FR-7F cartrdige which I am enjoying very much. SInce this cartridge comes in an integrated headshell, one cannot adjust the overhang of the stylus. So, my question to those of you using the FR-7 cartrdiges, how much overhang is there in the FR-7 and do you compensate the pivot-to-spindle distance of your toenarm to meet the oevrhang of the FR-7?
I am currently using my FR-7F on my Micro Seiki MAX282 tonearm with the heavy J-Arm XP-282AU. I do have the FR-64s also but am selling it to try and upgrade to the FR-66s.

Dear Ddriveman, in your MAX-282 with 282-AU (J-shaped) armwand the FR-7f will follow Löfgren B IEC calculation curve if the MAX-282 is mounted according to manufacturer's specifications.
The very same applies to the FR-66s when mounte din 296 mm P2S.
As Halcro already pointed out - there is no way to adjust overhang in the FR-7f ( or most any other integrated headshell MC (EMT, SPU etc.)).
Cheers,
D.
