I might be completely wrong. Pretty new with these cars
If the car hasn't had an alignment yet, the toe is not going to be optimal.

You can install the bolts and leave them in. Just try to get as much as you can, push on the spindle and tighten things down. There is some play in the top nuts/studs as well. While you have the bottom bolts loose push in on the top and re-tighten them as well. Every little bit helps.

If you get more than -1.2 out of the crash bolts that would be awesome. You can do the crash bolt install yourself and then have the toe aligned at a shop or do it yourself if you have a setup to do so. They won't touch anything camber related since it's not adjustable so you don't have to worry about that.
