Default -2.5 + rear camber

Just wanted to know if anyone here is running -2.3 to -3.5 camber on the rear?

If you are how bad is your tire wear? I understand that camber is not the main cause of tire wear but just wondering how long you guys last. Also does it put alot of stress on the other parts?

with -3.5 at the rear did you still have to roll the rear fender + relocate the bolt? also what is your offset at the rear?

I suggest you get symmetrical side tires so you can flip them to have the outside worn
