Now that the tires are getting pretty warn, during maintenance I noticed some scalloping on the inside edge of the tire that I have on the back passenger side, as well as what I think looks like some slight negative camber wear (fairly uniform slant from the outside to the more warn inside) that my other tires do not have. In my understanding, we have no rear camber adjustment, only toe adjustment.

I went to try to get an alignment still on these old tires to determine if there is any damage outside of the limits of correction. I figure If it has bad camber I can buy some SPC LCA's, install them myself then get new tires (plan on going 215/45 MPSS), but the shop said the alignment is based on the tire and If I get the alignment now I will have to get one again when I switch. If I wait till After I get the tires and they can't correct it, I will end up driving around on my new tires with the bad alignment till I can order and install the new parts. That is if I didn't do some other unknown damage to the hub or something. Either way It looks like I will be paying twice for the alignment. So my question is based on the looks of the tire what would be the best option?

Did I just read that correctly? Your alignment is based off the tires? That is absolutely false. Id find a different alignment shop...
