Rear toe and tire wear

Rear toe and tire wear
I just got an alignment done on my 2007 Fit and the rear toe is 0.32deg on the driver side and 0.01deg on the passenger. It's out of spec on the driver side, but total toe is within spec.
I know SPC and other companies make toe shims and I'm comfortable doing the install myself on those but is it worth it? Would my alignment settings cause significantly worse tire wear or should I just not worry about it?

If it's still within spec my guess is it's likely to be Ok and not cause abnormal tire wear. The rear axle beam has fixed/solid wheel spindles so your setting shouldn't really change much ... Now the front end is where I can see the toe setting change over time as a result of worn out steering tie rods and control arm bushings as the mileage add up. So the front tires are more likely to see abnormal/uneven wear.

Gotcha thanks! Just want to preemptively fix it if it would be a problem but it looks like it'll be fine.
