Default Rear toe alignment needed?

Looking for advice. My left rear wheel toe alignment is out 6/32nds. Is it worth having it shimmed? Is 6/32nds a lot? And if so, what shim kit should I use on my 2nd gen xb? Oh, I should mention that I'm replacing my Nitto Neo Gen 225/40/18 tires with another set of the same. Tires coming off have 28K miles with inner edge tire wear. Car is not lowered and has 100% factory suspension. What are your thoughts?

You could shim it, but you have to remember that the brake caliper is mounted on the same plane as the hub itself. Therefore, the caliper should probably be shimmed, too.

I've yet to get the rear shimmed at all. Then again, my tires rarely last me longer than a year.
