Default Running negative -3 camber

Just got my GS lowered on some coilovers and running some 19x10 wheels in the rears. I had to max the camber out in the rears. I'm around negative -3 degrees and have a got an alignment to get my toe back in spec. I'm wondering if any of your guys are running similar camber specs and how the tire wear is even after an alignment? Any help would be appreciated!

-3 isnt so bad. Should last a few months before you would have to flip them. I am running -10 in the rear and if i drive the car every day, i have to flip the tires once a month. it sucks but you have to pay to play.

I have around -3,3 (the max I could get with OE parts even though some people say you could get up to -5) with 19x11 & 285/30.
Haven't had them on even a month yet so it's hard to tell how much they wear over time. They were also used when I bought them.

I running 19x10 in the rear with 235/35/19 tires. I drove for about a month before I got an alignment because i was still tweaking out my ride height and rolled the fenders. Well in that month there was a lot of inner tire wear. I have Dunlop Sport maxx Maybe its a softer compound. My toe was 0.89 on one side and 0.69 on the other. I'm'sure that's probably what killed my tires. -10 camber is insane lol. I didnt even know you could go that far?

So long as your toe is in spec I wouldn't think tire wear would be too bad. In my old Civic I was running quite a bit of camber (don't remember how much exactly, more than 3deg though I'm sure) and wear was extremely mild for a DD.

-3 isn't much over or spec honestly you shouldn't see really any wear difference If toe is in

If you want a camber kit!! RCA's Rear kit that take you to 0 degree. Also, The low and upper ajustable control arm from IS300 help you to alignment the car perfect. If that is what are you try to do.

No I want to keep it around -3 for that stance! it looks just right for me! I was just worried that i would go thru tires even after my toe was in spec! Sweet! thanks man! I was under the impression that the IS300 parts weren't compatible!
