Default How bad is this alignment? (photo included)

I just had some wheels and coilovers installed, and the shop that installed them brought my car to another shop to complete the alignment. I would have asked the shop what it all meant, but this sheet was in my car and I didn't notice it was there until I was driving away.

Some useful information: I'm running Bilstein B14 coilovers all the way up, rpf1's 19x9 +18 (265/35/19) and 19x10 +22 (285/35/19), and SPL rear camber arms. I did not install any adjustable front arms because I have read on here that they are not always necessary but after seeing the front alignment, I feel like I might need to.

What do you guys and gals think? This could be a dumb question, but could the numbers be off because the alignment shop thought the wheels were 18's instead of 19's (see picture)?

Thanks in advance

Have them add some more rear camber, then they can take away some toe.

Is there a camber or toe you would shoot for? Thanks terrasmak.

As a side note, the alignments will always say 18" wheels because they don't take into account aftermarket wheels

Toe will tear up tires so much more faster than camber ,

Rear toe should be 0.05 on each side, if possible. Your camber is fine where it is.

Looks like you installed the rear camber arms, but not the toe bolt. That is why toe is maxed out and not falling within range. You also have to enlarge the toe bolt opening when you install the toe bolt otherwise it is not doing anything.
