Okay to drive with alot of camber and a bit of toe

So my previous set up was bald with alot of camber wear. So i now have new wheels and tires. Waiting to get an alignment but im waiting on my coilovers from my buddy. And i cant get an alignment until i get the coils on.

My question is can i drive with the camber and toe on my new tires without causing damage or if it will cause damage at all ? When i look from the back my driver side rear wheel looks like at least -2 with toeing in. Looks messed.

Other than tire wear, there is no real other issues with it. It will only affect handling of the vehicle and normal wear and tear. If you're running with substantial camber, you may wear out the bushings as it add a lot more pressure on those joints. But that's about it.
