Default Lowered ZR and alignment?

Ok I have a 06 ZR with 9.5 in rear, 8.5 in front tires, Hotchkis sways set to stiff with Nismo strut and spring package. When I took car to be aligned all the tires fell within spec except the front passenger tire which is -.5 degrees outta spec. Is there anything I can do about this? Also how much will -.5 degrees outta spec cause the tires to wear?

For the front, there aren't much you can do except buy the kits for them. It is expensive. You are not that off. You should be fine.

It was -.5 and camber. Dumb question but will not be my first. Why is it only .5 outta spec on the right side?

What were the actual measurements of both front wheels for camber, caster, and toe? What were the rears? All that info should be on the print out.

Camber LF -1.0 Range .2 to -1.2 RF -1.6
Caster LF 8.1 Range 7.4 to 8.9 RF 8.4
Toe LF .05 Range .00 to .08 RF .05
Total Toe .10 Range .00 to .17
Steer Ahead .00 Range .00 to .05?

Camber LR -1.3 Range -1.1 to -2.1 RR -1.4
Toe LR .04 Range .05 to .12 RR .08
Total Toe .12 Range .10 to ..22
Thrust Angle -.02

OK here are all the numbers on the print out. Some of the ranges may be off do to hard to read small print but I have put all specs out of range in bold type.

sorry for the delay in getting back but was out of town. Thanks for the help.
