Lowering also gives it a bit of negative camber also.

It's a misnomer that neg camber wears the inside. I've driven 75,000+ miles with 1.5-2.2° and even tire wear until the ball joint and wishbone arm wore out then the tire wore though the steel belt in under a month.
Get the toe adjusted after making 100% sure your ball joints including on the wishbone are perfect. The toe should be almost dead straight. Very slightly inward prob so when loaded under braking they end up straight.
The tiniest play in either of those ball joints will cause "toe out" every time you brake. This is the primary cause of inner edge tire wear.
The hardest part of checking for play is you can't have spring forces on the joints.
