What camber to run

So im getting some nre rubber on the volks this week and gonna get a camber adjustment as well. Im runnning 19x8.5/9.5 and dropped on stance coilvers, currently got a -2.2 camber but want something lighter on the inside wear of the tires so looking for an opinion of what you guys are running with similar set ups.

Are you racing? If not, reduce the camber to as close to factory specs as you can and still fit the tires. There no reason to run mad camber on the street.

If you just have to run crazy camber and you are worried about inner tire wear, don't run ANY toe out. Zero toe or toe in will help minimize the tire wear.

No racing all street riding. Ive only got this inner wear because im pretty slammed atm so im running this crazy camber since my tires are almost shot, but with the new rubber going on thatll change. Ideally id like to get as close to factory spec but with the ride height and the offsets, aside from camber i got everything set to my liking. Just wondering what cambers you guys are running so throw some digits out there

If you're too low, and don't have camber correction arms, you'll be stuck in the negatives. The OEM adjustment cannot get the camber to near zero when a car is seriously dropped...

Stock settings for me, tweaking air pressure was enough for even wear during aggressive driving.
