Default Rear Wheel Alignment Issues

I just bought new tires and was getting the car aligned, come to find out the right rear has something wrong with it. The camber is -0.3 degrees and the Toe is -0.38 degrees. Apparently this is way off spec.... I was informed something must be bent and this is as much as it could be adjusted to get it close to correct.

I just upgraded wheels from the stock 17s to the GT 18" fronts 19" rears and had no issue before the upgrade. I just spent 1000 bucks on tires and do not want the ate up quickly, if you know of anything I can do to fix this PLEASE HELP!!

Thanks

Not certain this needs to be fixed. Would like to see spec sheet with other wheel.

The car is not lowered,

Specs on the driver's side rear

Camber is -1.4 degrees
Toe is .1 degree

I will look into getting those parts. Will the Rear passenger side wear out quickly as is?

Ok great! I was worried the tire was going to melt off. Haha

Did you get a decent price on your kit?

It felt like I got punched in the stomach finding out my car couldn't be aligned properly. I am slightly on a budget but do not want to cheap out on it.

I got my kit(Rear Camber arms and Toe Bolt) for $175 and with an install of $75... Its worth it IMO...

EDIT: Kit was SPC

I got my SPC rear camber kit from WorkConceptz or something like that here on the forums. Shoot him a PM. I got mine for $165 shipped. I did the install with some friends. If you are going to do the install yourself to save some money, make sure you get the right dremel bit required to elongate the slot. This will make things much easier. Install takes maybe 2-3 hrs. depending upon equipment and such.
