I'm not quite sure what the question is but...I wouldn't recommend fannying about with the camber/castor adjutments. Manufacturers OE spec is the best compromise between safety, stability and handling.
If you are running a wacky wheel/tyre/suspension set up then seek the advice of a supspension specialist, preferably one with full 4 wheel lazer alignment gear. Your high street tyre emporium will not be able to help you effectively with their relatively crude optical alignment kit.
Tyre wear on the Passenger side front (UK) can be alleviated somewhat by a harder lower bushing but this should still not affect the suspension geometry, unless you fit it whilst drunk.

Regards,

Big Rich.
