These are factory specs.

As I mentioned prior, I set to MINIMUM factory specs....

My front and rear total toe is around 10' (1/6th of 1 degree TOTAL, 1/12 of a degree on each side)

F camber (-12', +/- 20' spec) has a tolerance that allows for positive camber. I don't like positive camber, and set to around -10' (1/6th of 1 degree).

I actually mounted a dial indicator and adjusted the rear camber adjusters to the minimum camber. It checked around -1 degree 20' (1.33 degrees) during alignment.

Camber with minimum toe will not wear the inner edge of the tires.

Camber and excessive toe eats the inner tire edge.
