Camber plates offer more range, as mentioned -3 is a nice starting point for the front, I'm at -4 right now which you can't get with just bolts, as above suspension choice dictates what you need to do to get an aggressive alignment, lcas aren't necessary to hit -5 if the struts are designed for it.
Also given your planned wheel choice you will be limited by wheel to spring perch clearance when using camber bolts, you will not be able to hit -3 without camber plates or a camber adding top hat like pedders.
The rear is not camber adjustable from the factory, you need adjustable lower control arms to align the rear properly on this car.
This does the job for most people:

Top hats are the plates that mount the damper to the chassis, just another name for them. Camber adjustable top hats might be more proper then camber plates but meh who cares.
