Camber and toe question

I have a b14 with tein basics and camber plates. I put them on around may last year and I also made the big mistake of never getting an alignment so my tires got destroyed pretty quickly. what do you guys suggest I set my camber and toe to so I can get decent tread wear and not compromise handling. I read that about 2.5 degrees of negative camber and 0 toe would be suitable for my situation is that correct or would that create too much tread wear? Thanks guys!

toe really kills tires you might want 0 toe with a tad of camber so you sound like your on the right track

unless you are racing, you REALLY want zero toe. toe wears out tires the fastest. i guess for racing, you can run like a degree of toe out and it helps with corner entry. as for camber, 2.5 degrees is alot. when i had my NX i MAXED out the exc. bolts and only got 3 degrees. 1 degree of neg camber is great for DD or weekend warrior
