Vehicle Alignment *Please Help*

So I have a 2004 G35 coupe and I need help with trying to figure out the perfect specifications to my wheel alignment. I'm pretty new to this so bare with me!

Below is the vehicle alignment report I currently have.


As you can see I have negative camber on my front and rear wheels. I know that having negative camber can cause tire wear and I have seen it on my tires. I dont want to have to keep going through tires, I want the ones I have to last for a while, but I do like that negative camber adds to cornering and handling. What I want to know are some specs that would be just a tad bit negative camber but not too much to where I'll wear my tires. Thanks for your time and please help if you have any information.

Seriously? What would be the "proper toe" then?

I wouldn't worry about the camber as much if your toe is set.

Wrong, toe should be in the middle of the range for best tire life.

You cannot change the camber, you need to buy kits for that, if you are not lowered it should be getting into spec no problems. If it isnt something is broken or bent

I see, would you recommend a camber kit or is it not that big of a problem?

If you don't want to eat through tires I would recommend camber kits both F/R.
