Alignment Issue, pls help

2008 c300, h&r supersports, in 19x10 out back, 265/30/19
I had Benz dealer align and 5000km on tires and there scrap found out that TOE was not set right, found out they set to OE spec... Can someone advise or post there spec of their set up?
Should I have the rear to zero'd out... I know I will have camber but toe will just keep eating rears?
Any suggestions or specs?

Thanks, oh an dealer will replace tires but I will be going elsewhere for alignment

Can you post a copy of the align's readings?

You may be able to get camber eccentric bolt kits for less neg.

When in doubt, set toe-in to the mimimum toe-in on the spec sheet.

What did the dealer do wrong?

Dealer knew the car was lowered, they decided to set the spec to OE, fronts are fine, I know I have camber (expected) but the TOE is was to in on the rears, I have major cupping

Take rear toe to minimum spec as Kevin suggests.
