When you say pretty much stock what do you mean? Any suspension mods? stock rims? Give us details? You hit any curbs or potholes lately?

Hit curbs w/ all 4 tires?? take it in for an alignment job and they'll let you know if there's damage causing it or your car's just a runt. j/k, list your sus mods

I don't have any suspension mods. I don't know how to answer the pot hole question, I live in NYC, pot holes is like a norm for us here. If you mean really really big pot holes, then no.

The positive camber tire are the front passenger side and the rear driver side.

Please help.

Chances are that if you take your car to get a 4-whl alignment, it won't show any extraordinary positive camber.

The outer tire wear is probably from the tire rolling over while turning. This would be more common with the stock 195's than if you were using 205's. A possible reason for front driver-side not having outer tire wear is b/c you're sitting on that side, inducing a little bit of negative camber (relative to the passenger-side), so that the tire doesn't roll over as much.

Even my friend's stock ITR has this problem - 195/55VR-15 RE010's on stock suspension.

Regardless, take it for an alignment and get the before and after specs.

Yep, out-of-spec toe will cause more tire wear problems than out-of-spec camber.
