SPC is fine, yes. How far out of spec is the camber? I had no issues and I'm lower than you. If you only experience wear with one set of wheels and tires, they are probably the issue. If it is faster than normal, not just uneven, your toe is exacerbating it.

So you're saying that all specs are in the green with your car without having the SPC arms? The front left 18'' tire is what's wearing on the inside. Switched it to the other side and it's continued to wear.

I don't know if they're green. I got an alignment, and they didn't mention anything, but had no spec sheet. If I had 0.8* degrees of camber, I wouldn't be able to tell visually. I'd actually prefer a little more negative camber than that to be honest.

Nothing about your alignment should be wearing one tire prematurely though, and the fact that the tire wear follows the tire placement not the location on the vehicle supports the theory of an issue with the tire itself.
