Have you checked with an alignment shop to see what they'd us to correct extreme positive camber situations (colision repair etc)?
When I had a 4 wheel alignment done the alignment rack did measure those spec's. the tech said the toe was slightly out at one of my rear wheels but not enough to be concerned. He said if I noticed odd tire wear to come in and they'd address it. With shims behind the brakes I assume.
