2008 Kia Rio alignment

[Sid6.7]

I just got new tires on my kia and did an alignment and got some strange numbers. is this going to cause me tire wear? I am kind of shocked it has so much negative camber

Front is
FL -1. camber 0.005 toe
FR -0.09 camber 0 toe

Rear
LR
-1.3 camber 0.15 toe
RR
-1.2 camber
0.05 toe out

Looks close to specs, check periodically and monitor for any abnormal wear.

The LR doesn't look good. Way too much toe.
The front cross camber isn't right.

Was this in an accident?

What do you mean about the front cross camber? The camber between each side only varies .01 degree.

Agree, camber and toe is still bad. They might be in the "green" pretty manufacture specs (I didnt look) but they're not close to each other at all.

How is the camber bad? Most cars have different specs for front and rear camber and both sides, front and rear, are nearly symmetrical.

everything on this is in the green on the report besides the passengers side rear. I am just wondering if that camber is anything tire wear wise to worry about and that rear tire.

I can tell a 0.05° difference in toe; the shorter the wheelbase the easier it is to notice. Some may not but it is enough to wear the bad pattern into my blizzaks and previous set of Pirellis.

I wouldnt worry about the camber as much as the toe in this case. My initial thoughts is you will have to constantly adjust your steering wheel to the left.

I think that is why they adjust the left front to 0.05 should I bother putting spacers into the rear to bring the car to 0 toe? also the manual calls for the rear to be 1 - +.5 on camber

Edit
it seems I can't edit my first post the camber should read

Front is
FL -1. camber 0.05 toe
FR -0.09 camber 0 toe

Rear
LR
-1.3 camber 0.15 toe
RR
-1.2 camber
0.05 toe out

I just checked the EZ shim pdf and you i could get rid of some of the rear camber and could add 0.06 of negative toe to the right rear tire

My experience is that the published tolerances (not the target values - the deviation from the target!) are too wide by half.

Nether the targets nor the tolerances are mentioned - but some of those values look outside what I consider what the tolerances should be.

should I buy EZ shims to get the rear closer to spec? is it worth using camber bolts to get the front closer to .5?
