ha ha, ok i'll try to take some. i'm just so lazy once i get home and park her...i had to let the shop drive my car (normally i don't let them!) and it really looks meaner than i realize. going that wide was a great choice i must say!!
won't camber adversely affect tire wear though? do i just need to rotate more often?

camber doesn't necessarily wear as much as toe does, but toe changes in response to camber change. so if you increase neg camber please go get an alignment to correct the toe.
tire wear should be same --unless you sit there and do a burn out then it will wear more on the inside for obvious reasons.

I'm a believer that camber will indeed wear your tires faster, regardless that others say its solely dependent on toe. Toe will increase the wear by far, but I don't personally think it's the only cause of increased wear.
Rotating your tires only helps so much, after all you're still going to be on the same shoulder.
How comfortable are you with tires? Drive yours for a while with a certain degree of camber and note the wear. If its too extreme, take other means necessary.
