Tire clearance question

Ride height is within 1/8 of 4 5/8 all around. Cross ended up 50.45%. I was only able to get 2.5 camber on the FL before I whacked my finger with a hammer loosening a bolt and quickly lost patience. Car has my weight in sand backs in the drivers seat.
I did stuff that corner into a hillside once but it has new A-arms (that have done a little bit of offroading since.) Normal to find this?

For now, I suppose it's better than it was for this weekend and I'll get more practice with setup sorting that out afterwards.

I'm only able to get around 2.5 or so camber on the LF even with a new LCA. Camber can be higher if you are willing to mess with your caster setting. But I just evened out the front camber settings and had caster set to about 5+. I also set my rear camber to 2.5, but not sure it should not have been set higher given the front camber numbers.

If you are short on camber, but can get 5* caster on an NA car, you have something bent.
