The only adjustment on a standard car is toe. There is no camber adjustment. If your inner edges are wearing then I would suggest you have toe out on the front instead of parallel. If the wheels are parallel then you have worn track rod ends and/or tie rods.
I would say the say thing as nick, you have slight amount of toe out.
Just remember if you tell the alignment guys to set the toe to 0 Deg as the car accelerates forward due to the front wheels being driven the front wheels will naturally move to a slight toe out position due to the slack in all the ball joints in the steering arms. I set mine to about 1 Deg of total toe in to ensure you don't get toe out when you put you foot on the accelerator.
This effect is much worse in a front wheel drive car, and none existing in a rear wheel drive car as the front wheels are not driven. So for a four wheel drive car the effect is there but not a massive issue.
I think the factory spec is 2 Deg of total toe in.

Bye for Now!
I thought the factory spec was parallel?
As Nick says, according to my Hunter machine, the factory toe is 0.00 +/- 0°09
I did set mine, as on the image below, to 0°02 toe in on both sides (it was actually correct at 0°02 on each side but we had removed the steering wheel lock before I took the photo, hence it moving slightly to show more toe on one side than the other)
While we there, I mean you mention YOUR hunter kit, we (with @Davezj ) would love to come over and set ours as we want, after we do polybushed all corners it makes sense to set it up, if thats possible of course.
