Is there any reason other than appearance to have your wheels negatively cambered? I see it pretty frequently these days and it just looks stupid and wears out your tires in weird ways.
On a race car, some (not an absurd amount) of negative camber is needed because as the car leans into a corner, the outside tire gains camber. The car will have its best cornering performance when the outside tire is perfectly perpendicular to the road during a hard corner, because then the entire tire, not just the inside or outside edge, is gripping the road.
In certain driving conditions it can improve cornering, but for most cases, oem recommended angles are best. Extreme negative camber is purely cosmetic and wears out your tires in weird ways.
