Toe has more effect than camber for inside/outside wear on the highway.
When adjusting camber the toe is affected as well.
And that's really a good thing, so when adding camber for the track you get more toe out as well.
What Dan says is also important to remember, the overall body roll plays a big role in the amount of needed camber.
Agree and pyrometer, probably the easiest way to sort out the basic camber settings.

For my 245 - 16's Toyo RA-1's I tried -2.5 in front and quickly started to notice wear on the outside.
The car is at the shop right now getting -3.5 in front and -2.5 in the rear.
Front toe is 0.17 degrees and the rear is 0.48 degrees and this felt great. The car is set up by a former 944 Firehawk champion driver.

-2.5 is not enough front camber for RA1's. I've had to run around -3. Not sure if you have camber plates but they are definitely useful to tinker with camber until you get it right and are getting even tire wear.
