Happy to be of some help - but I'm guessing you are not going to take my advice?

Please explain to me how modifying the camber specification will solve your tire/fender clearance issues? Were the people you sought advice from sellers of "bling-bling" rims? Seems to me that excessive negative camber would cause the tires to hit the fenders at an earlier point in the suspension travel.

In my continuing efforts to be helpful you might want to read the following link from the Tire Rack about vehicle alignment parameters. Pay particular attention to the section that talks about excessive negative camber and it's effects on tire wear and tramlining.
