Your options
  1. There are fairly complex ways of doing a DIY alignment which, if you're seriously considering doing it properly, i suggest you google it rather than asking rx8club
  2. There are expensive tools to assist with accurately adjusting camber
  3. Just get an alignment

What? How are smaller tires going to alter camber?

RX-8's have built-in camber adjustability. There's a cam bolt at each corner that allows you to adjust it.

Go to a local shop with an alignment rack, tell them what you want and let them figure it out.

Then, you just need to get more neg camber on the fronts.

The rears have too much neg camber already built in.

I don't know It seems he just wants more camber. Doesn't specify positive or negative.

Confirmed.
Your thought process is defective.

Beware the man in the white coat.
He gets to do what I wish I could do half the time to cars with pointless mods:
