It is impossible to say Mark. What type of adjustable camber did the car have, bolts or adjustable arms like Ground Control. The two have different adjustable range. I made my own adjustable links for the rear of my limited.
20,000 miles isn't bad for the rear end, even with all season tires, it is quit good for summer tires.
The toe adjustment has as much to do with rear tire wear as camber!
Performance camber on the rear could be in the 2.5 to 3.0 range, anything more than that on tires you also use on the street is just wasting rubber and things like the sway bar, coil springs and unsprung weight start to play more into corning grip; it is a lot more than just camber. Type, brand, size, style of tire?
That's just my opinion, and it's worth about what you paid for it.
