Tucking without tire wear?

Tucking without tire wear?
Hey guys,
I have already ordered a set of SPC ball joints and figs mega arms for my awd is250 for camber adjustment.
My original plan was to use these to correct camber to avoid tire wear when lowering my car 2.5"
(I already know about the awd lowering problems so don't worry)
BUT, I have seen so many pics here on CL of some sweet setups with owners tucking their wheels under the fender with camber....
I don't want too much camber, just enough to tuck my wheels under the fender the smallest amount...
Aren't you guys who have done this worried about tire wear?
Or does it not happen as fast as I think it does??
Thanks!

What is your budget on tire maximizing components? I'd start with rear camber arms and a good alignment. From there you can go with the adjustable UCAs, and of course the different various bushings. But seeing your comment on the "still saving up"...perhaps the bare necessities for now will get you by with only minimal tire wear losses.

My spc ball joints and figs mega arms were delivered this week... im just wondering:
A. If I even need them for tire life help - let the natural camber tuck the wheel a slight bit after lowering 2.25" --- Meaning I sell these
OR
B. If I can use these to both tuck the wheel and save my tires--- i.e. a middle ground between no neg. camber and #stancenation

The reason I was asking is because I purchased my camber kits first (i got a good deal on both), however, now Im tight on my budget to actually purchase the Coilovers to lower my car in the first place!
Basically I have camber kits, but no coils...
Curious if I should still wait and save up more OR sell my camber kits so I have enough to buy coils and risk tire wear (if there really is a risk in the first place)
