Changing my camber settings?

Anyone know if there are any adverse affects to making all 4 wheels have the same camber and in such a way that the outside and inside of the tire wears evenly? Would 0 camber wear the outside more than the inside?

I don't race or track the car so I want the tires to last as long as possible, but still have good traction/handling.

zero camber would mean that your tires are perfectly even. That is what you should be trying to achieve with a camber kit. You're daily driving will be fine with that.

Salty, if you get a four wheel alignment to OE specs your G won't have excessive tire wear unless you have some type of suspension failure.

I thought OE specs have negative camber in the back? The inner part of my tires in the rear are definitely more worn than the outside. Last thing I want is unnecessary tire wear. Not sure of the fronts though.

You need camber kits. A lot of people have camber issues on stock set ups.

I'm lowered and have the camber kit front and back, alignment is set to OE specs and my tires are wearing evenly. There is the slightest amount of negative camber but not enough to make your tires wear out prematurely.
