Had major inner edge treadwear. STFA and if I've done my homework, all I need to specify at the shop is to set the front toe out to zero...what about rear?
I assume everything else stays within spec.
Thanks!

excessive negative camber is most likely responsible for your inner tire wear
if you're lower than OEM sport, you'll need adjustable control arms to bring the camber back into the correct range (-.5 to -1.2 degrees)

What tires had the inner edge wear problem, just the fronts, or do the rear tires...
have similar inner edge wear also? The rear toe should be set nominal zero, with ~.01 toe out, same as the front, to compensate for bushing deflection under road load, and will be about zero toe with the tires pulling the car forward. The rear suspension camber angle is adjustable, so be sure that is set according to specs, the front camber is not adjustable.
