I know rule of thumb is two sets of rears per one set of fronts, but I think I'm getting worse than that.

Mine are wearing down to the chords on the inside while there is substantial tread on the outside.

Is there an acceptable change to the rear alignment (camber?) that will help on this without compromising handling? I don't track my car on or off the street.

Thanks

Toe affects wear more than camber causing scrubbing of the tires. Go for less. But less camber will even out the wear as well. So shoot for the lower side of the spec ranges, as follows (from a 997.2):

Rear toe: 10'-5'=5' or approx .1mm (0.0833 to be exact)
Rear camber: -1 deg 30 min - 15'=-1 deg 15 min or -1.25 deg

Mine is 997.1 are the specs the same?

Thanks.

stock suspension and height?
How old is the car and millage?
For me, tire wear is proportionate to toe pointing with he right foot.

From the 997.1 workshop manual. Looks like 997.1 rear toe is the same. Rear camber is milder on the 997.1 C2/C2S though.
