It's a lot of camber for street use, regardless of what kind of car it
is.

The camber itself (depending on the tire and your driving style) isn't
what's wearing your tires. It's the toe setting that has the front of
your car basically in a "constant turn". The combination of the two is
a very bad thing as far as tire wear goes. My choice was to give up the
toe-out. I still run 1.8 to 2.0 degrees negative camber but with near
zero toe, my tires last a lot longer.
If you have symmetrical tires, reverse-mounting them is a good trick,
too... just don't wait until it's too late to do it.
