Toe-out is generally a larger contributor to inside-edge wear than camber is, though. The ones in the photo above were almost certainly due to toe-out on those wheels. The tires on my first 914 looked remarkably like that after a few thousand miles, and it was due almost exclusively to toe-out.

Toe-out is worst when combined with negative camber--the two together will chew through tires in a hurry.
