2010 JK Camber?
Just put a set of wheels on my new 2010 JK Unlimited, with Goodyear factory stock back on til I can afford the tires. I had them check the alignment and all looked well except for the right front. I think stock is like a -.3 inch camber, but the right front came back at -.6 inch. Seeing how you cant adjust camber, what do I need to do or is this difference acceptable and how will it affect handling and tire wear?

CAMBER − 0.25° (fixed angle) ± 0.37°
MAX LT/RT DIFFERENCE ± 0.5°
I suppose you could do some math and get an inch reference for top of tire displacement inboard.
Edit to add:
A quick calculation shows -.25° = 0.070" inboard tilt at the top of a 32" tire.
Are you sure your figures are not supposed to be in degrees?
If so, your figures are within limits.

Never heard of camber in inches. Here are the specs from the factory:
CAMBER − 0.25° (fixed angle) ± 0.37°
MAX LT/RT DIFFERENCE ± 0.5°
