You need to shim the rear hub to get camber on our cars. Any decent alignment shop should be able to do this no problem. Just make sure not too get much at all, it will upset the car's handling characteristics.

you wont change camber by lowering the rear, just camber in the front.

solid rear so therefore it won't happen without shimming, also toe is what effects tire wear not camber, get a proper alignment and you tires will wear fine.
if you aren't getting stance coilovers you aren't won't be that low anyway

Excessive camber will cause increased wear on the inner/outer edge of the tire, you may be thinking of caster

Not in the rear. Like that other guy said rear torsion beam will not cause tire wear due to camber. Should have mentioned that before, sorry.
