Thanks everyone,
Those are good suggestions. I never knew about those rear suspension i.e. toe/alignment, LCA and etc. I will take these in consideration when take to the shop. @911mhawk, when you meant by negative camber. Meaning the wheel/tire should be a bit verticle? Here's what it looks like with the GT2 wheels setup.

but then. i get 5k out of rears now for 20 sets, give or take. if you get 14K i wouldn't complain
you replace your rear tires around the time you change your oil?

actually? yes. but it's never simultaneous. i'm comfortable with 5-7k per change of M1 5/50..but my rears demand replacement at 5k +/-. i.e. i need rear tires before i NEED fresh oil.

The wheels look pretty straight up to me, but here's a good alignment that worked really well with my PSS10's, some camber plates and LCAs

"0" Camber would have the tires straight up and down, vertical. Negative camber means leaning in at the top. Negative camber causes more of the outside tire tread (with the most weight on it) to roll onto the pavement. Positive would allow the tire to roll onto the sidewall.

Thanks for the clarification!
