Lowered car - rear passenger tire ware

I am lowered on KWV1 with cambers and noticed that my rear passenger side have more inside ware than the driver side. I assume this is caused because I driver alone for 90% of the time. Is this correct? How can I fix this?
Does the shop need to reset everything while I am in the car? I weigh 185lbs.

KWV1
SPC F/R cambers with TOE bolt
20x10.5 all around with 25 offset
275/30/20 all around

get your alignment checked, 185# driver shouldn't make much difference

I suppose theoretically, the weight of a driver does increase the wear on the drivers side wheels, but it is not something you would be able to casually notice.

You can combat this by corner balancing the car to account for the weight of the driver, but that is typically something done on SLAMMED cars, or proper race-prepped cars where such things make a difference.

In all likelihood, your alignment is just wrong.

I think it -might- be your alignment.
