Alignment Specs
I had my alignment done 2 weeks after lowering my car also installed SPC rear alignement bolts. These are the results from the Nissan dealer who said it was back to factory or as close to factory but the tire wear on my rear tires may say otherwise. Can someone confirm if anything else needs to be done to the rear.
Rear Axle Before After
Camber Left -1.05 -0.78
Right -1.18 -0.83
Toe Total 0.07 0.25
Left 0.61 0.12
Right -0.54 0.13
Geometrical Driving 0*34' 0*00'

Front Axle
Camber Left -1.63 -1.63
Right -1.67 -1.74
Caster Left 7.98 8.12
Right 8.64 8.42
SAI Left 5.25 4.91
Right 5.24 5.7

I wish I could get -1.6 camber in the front!
Your rear camber is good. No worries there. Might want to check about the toe... that's what usually eats tires anyway. My advice would be look in the factory service manual to confirm it's within specification. I think you have 1/8" toe in for the rear... which is somewhat significant.
What tire wear are you getting?

Everything is with in spec other than the front camber which isn't all that bad.imo What are you lower on, I've never seen such little camber gain in the rear from a lowering spring.
Total rear toe is spec'd at .01*-.43* fwiw

You lowered your car 2 weeks ago, and the rears looked wore that fast? Or they were already like that. I rolled with no alignment for a month and my tires didn't wear at all. My current alignment spec are waaaay out other than toe, tires still good.

I lowered it 2 months ago. i'm more concerned about the wear pattern on the tires, it don't believe they should be that badly worn on the inside of the tire but according to the service manual the rear is in spec

Did you have any feathering on the tread while it was wearing that fast? Camber, especially with the little that you had, shouldn't wear a tire that fast. Toe would be the culprit, but I can't really tell if you have/had any feathering which would imply your toe being out.
EDIT:
After looking at the original numbers again, the left side toe is further out than the right, which shows on the tires. I'd suspect that was your issue, especially if you had any wobble in the steering wheel while travelling on the highway.
