Yep. That's exactly what they are for - see below.

I am going to go get it measured first all round and see what the results are...
I know toe is out!
But I won't lie I do like the look of the camber from the rear
Apart from tyre wear does it have any other detrimental effects?
I know camber to a certain degree can improve cornering...
might be a good idea for folk to suggest good settings all round on a thread like this
ive seen some strange and wacky ways of trying DIY alignement on youtube, and none will get you close i dont think to proper laser aligning at one of the good garages. (unfortunately).
ive heard good camber front and back is around the -1 to -2 degrees.
you want a little toe out on the front for better turn in.
rear toe to want toe in.
specific numbers im not sure off.
here s agood thread on imoc though mentioning Dino's recommended settings.

Toe out does help turn in, but makes it not as nice to drive on road as it's more likely to tramline. It's not as comfortable to cruise.
Toe in or out ten minutes is better than parallel
I had that conversation with Tony (TLF) recently about those WIM settings. They don't specify whether they are Decimal Degrees, Degrees & Minutes, or mm! Tony felt that they were 0 degrees 3 minutes each side front and 0 degrees 5 minutes each side rear.
The aggressive bit seems to be the rears which would normally toe-in 0 degrees 24 minutes (Dino's settings) for more high speed straight line stability vs less turn in for cornering on fast B roads. I initially thought they were decimal degrees and gave much more toe-in on the front than the rear (see conversion to degrees & minutes). It's great quoting settings but not much use when they don't specify what the measurement is though as it's a bit misleading.
