Camber will automatically eat through your tires, well atleast it does through mine. One of the things i did to correct that was adjusting my toe which was significantly improving. Also, consider the way that you drive. I drive more lets say "considerate" now. The camber is going to look good but at the price of your tires. Id say get an alignment and address your problem with the tech/mechanic to try and get it dialed in to where you can settle in between oem fitment and cambered. its entirely up to you.
too much TOE in/out is what kills tires, camber just makes them wear unevenly, ie. inside wears more first. anything more than 1/4" is going to eat at them.
Glad you got it sorted though!
Any idea when you're going to be selling your old set of wheels?

I was ready to pounce on the "camber will eat your tires," but you hit it on the head right after with toe. The reason "camber" often eats tires is when you dial it in, you're actually also adjusting the toe settings too; unless you have the shop do everything.

I like your new wheels, but the ones in your sig are literally the reason I started thinking about modding my car!

Really? interesting lol you see i work at a benz dealer and every over car that strolls in either has the brabus VI's or the Euro 63s which are the ones in my sig. I mean dont get me wrong it was hard letting go of those rims but i had an itch for concave.

I got them from California wheels in the Bay Area. They're great wheels, I don't regret getting them and they fit the 203 perfect.
