JMP;
If you want to change the camber because your inside of the tire is wearing more than the outside, why don't you try running an extra psi or two on the rears, this will move the contact patch towards the outside of the tire.

FYI I am running -2.5 camber on the rear and was using 37psi cold (with 19"), and my car was wearing more the center and outer portion of the tires, about three weeks ago I lowered 2psi (35-36psi) to get more wear on the inside (opposite to your problem) and that took care of it of course I did the same to the front ones to keep a balance.

IMHO you should leave the camber settings at the recommended OEM settings, you can increase them but I don't think you will like it at 0 deg.
