Default will this affect tire ware?

i just got done fixing the negative camber on my rear wheels with the nut and washers idea. well, i bought 4 hex bolts but when i got home i noticed i bought a different size hex bolts (3 correct hex bolts, 1 incorrect hex bolt) . it was too late to go return it to the hardware store, because it had already closed. knowing i had to drive the next day; on the passenger side i used the hex bolts with 6 washers and the other bolt i used only 4. because there are 2 less washers spacing it out will this affect tire ware in any way? or is this not a good idea to drive around on? because the stock bolts are shorter then the new ones i bought.

if its not the same on both sides i would imagine it wont wear correctly?
btw how do you fix negative camber by shimming and how much did you drop your car cuz if its dropped its not negative camber.

So drive on it for tomorrow then go back and get the right bolt you need tomorrow at the hardware store. Not a big deal... one day with some negative camber on one side isn't going to wear out your tires. You probably won't even feel the difference.

you prolly dont want to because your rear toe will be less on one side (right) and your car just may go down the street sideways.
