Ok so my current alignment settings are

(F)

Camber -2.0
toe 0
caster 8

Tire size 265/35/19

(R)

Camber -1.75
toe is stock setting

Tire Size 305/30/19

And with that being said I was looking at my inner tire, and its wearing really bad.. thinking about reducing the camber to

(F)
Camber -1.5
toe 0
caster 8

what is your opinion?? also will it create under steer??

Unitless numbers are meaningless. Post the actual alignment report.

Your camber by itself is fine - if you want to reduce inner tire wear, run a little toe IN in the front. But, with that much caster, you don't need to run as much static camber. If I were you, I would back off on the camber and add a little toe in. Something like camber: -1.5, toe in: stock

Zero toe up front or you WILL wear the inner shoulders quickly. Ask me how I know.

"-1.5, toe in: stock" Unitless numbers are meaningless. Inches? Millimeters? Degrees?
