my caster if off a little, but that wont hurt, it may just make the car pull a little bit.

As for camber and toe, yeah if they are off alot, it will hurt. My camber is -2 in the rear and so far all is ok, so i think you will be ok. Toe should be dead on at 0. If it isnt, the tires will either push or pull at each other ( / \ or \ / ) and obviously that isnt good. But with the little bit of error you have, you will probably be alright.
