Default Camber problems

So I installed some new Spl camber links and lock out kit for my 04 350z. At first I made sure when I installed them they were the same length as stock. Everything was fine and no worries.After a week I adjusted them so I can get some negative camber. I took my Z for a spin around the block and the rear end would just swerve from side to side it was unstable at 20 mph. Idk if i was slightly off in the measurements. My best guess is my toe is off, not so sure. I put the Spl arms length back to stock and it was okay once again. I'm running a 265 tire on a 12.5 wide wheel if you guys are wondering but I don't think the tire is the problem. I guess my main question is why would my car swerve so much to the point where you can't drive it anymore after adding some negative camber? It's swerved so much while going at 20 mph and my tires sounded like I was drifting at that speed.

Toe problem, as camber changes, toe changes.

1. Get a proper alignment and put everything in spec.
B. Get proper width tires for those wheels.
III. ????
5. Profit.
