From what I have found get the toe in the front to -10 to -15 on each front so -20 to -30 cross toe and for the rear run around 0 to -10 cross. Also the main thing you need to worry about is get the Caster up pretty high, I think stock is somewhere around 7.25 or so and you wanna run it up to 9 or more. Also probably wanna run Camber in too, something around -2 to -2.5 cross should do. I could be wrong never set up a supra for drift but I have set up quite a few other cars and these are around the specs they run.

From my experience, the only reason you would go with a "toe out" setting is to gain even more turn in, but I am assuming you are going to use this as a daily driver as well. What I used for my AE86 that I used for street and track was this: Camber -2.5 Caster was maxed but even on both sides. Toe was Zero. The corolla has a solid rear axle so I couldnt adjust that, but I would just leave the toe at Zero and rear camber it at -1.5. This all changes when your drift skill changes as well, but when that happens people go as much as -4 camber or more and play with the toe settings. I know some Formula D drivers that still maintain a Zero toe. Its not the camber that eats up your tires but its the toe.
