0 degrees Camber
+ something Caster
1/8th toe in

If you can imagine 0 Camber is all but vertical, and should not wear a tire. You want as much positive Caster as you can get. High speed stability. Toe set to about a factory setting. IF you are wearing the outside edge of a tire, I would think that you have too much positive camber, or too much toe in on that wheel. My stuff is set to 0 camber, with the variance to -.5 camber ( in at the top ) Caster depends on the truck, but doubt if you will get more than 2 degrees + caster.
