Default Need Feedback On 4 Wheel Alignment

I had a 4 wheel alignment done few days ago see below spec sheet. Top is before, bottom after. Camber negative and nonadjustable thats ok, thrust angle now zero, toe F and R was off so they adjusted that, but Im not sure about the specs esp the rear toe .12* ???

The thrust angle on the rear is better now. When you hit bumps it should drive straight through them vs darting. Both ends have a slight amount of toe-in, so check the wear and adjust the pressure until you get even wear on both ends.
I'm on 225 255 stager and run 39 PSI up front and 33 in the rear. This so far is getting good wear at both ends. Too low in the front and the edges get destroyed. To high in the rear and the center blew out, hence the psi I run today. Moral of the story, measure wear and adjust pressure. If still eating the inside edge, toe it in some more.

Seems like a lot of toe to leave, double what they set my rear toe at when I got my last alignment.

On a 26" tire diameter ( 255/40R18 ), that's roughly 0.050" per side. If the tires don't feather the outer edges, it will help turn-in entry to corners, 1/2 of that would likely be better for MPG's. It really depends if it's a highway car or city car usage wise.
