3.5" is pretty low. I'm lowered 3" on 205/40/16 (and that's scary sometimes). My tread-wear is fine. My last set of BFG Euro TAs (same size) lasted at least 45,000 miles. It could have been more, but I don't remember exactly when I got my rims...

You shouldn't need a camber kit (I don't have any). Just make sure to get an alignment if you haven't already. The lowering causes static toe settings to change pretty drastically. Bad toe setting will cause the cambered edge of your tires to wear rapidly since they are now scrubbing the ground. If toe has truly been zeroed out, you should not experience any camber wear. After all, some sharp corners easily move the normal wear back to the outside shoulder...
