Default Inside edge front tire wear help needed

After 24,000 miles my 2010 Vette convertible has excessive wear on the inside edges of the front tires. I am going to get new tires all around, and have a 4 wheel alignment.

Can someone give me the correct alignment specs, and recommendations on reduced camber to reduce the inside tread wear?

I will give them to the shop doing the tires and alignment.

Ask the alignment shop to run the minimum toe specs. This means closest to zero that is recommended. Too much toe is what causes premature tire wear. Negative camber just concentrates it to the insides.
