Default front Toe spec

Hi,
I need help with front toe spec quickly.
I'm replacing my SPC arms with stock arms. If the camber stays around -2.7, i'll stick with stock arms. So my question is, If the camber is around -2.7, what would be the wise number for toe spec for reducing the wear on inner side of tires, AND for DD and autox use? i expect some wear on inner side of tires, but was told that good number in toe will save it.
My car is dropped with Stance gr+ by the way.
thanks in advance

Normally 1/16 toe out for track and autocross, but since my Z is a daily driver i use a hair of toe in up front.

i was told that if you have some negative camber (-2.7), it'd be best to go as close to zero as possible. maybe 0.00 to 0.05. Is that right?

i'm not raising my car. I found a guy who had SPC but swapped to stock arms. (prolly lowered than i am) No more riding on bumpstops and rides like a champ. -2.7 camber will lower my car little, so i'm HAPPY

i swapped to stock arms. NO running on bumpstops! wow. It feels so nice to make a fast bumpy roundabout without running on bumpstops lol
If i get the alignment done, will i get more negative than now? It looks like there's not even -2.0 camber -_-...i wanted like -2.5

Nope, you can't adjust camber up front without adjustable arms.
