I think in theroy with a wider contact you will be able to run with less neg camber to ensure even wear. Or run the -1.5-2º and just accept the increased wear. It won't be too bad. If you drive more agressively you can go with even more neg camber and have even wear. But the local constabulary will get you if you do. I doubt you would drive harder than me. I get the inside front off the ground all the time. A couple of times I've even had the inside rear off.
Pete, I measure the camber with a machinists protractor. They come in what's called a Machinists combination set. A good one made by Mitutoyo will set you back at least $150. You get the 12" steel ruler that you can slide into a square, a 45º, or the protractor. The protractor has .5º marks on it and you butt the machined edge onto the machined face for the center cap of the wheel. Then rotate the protractor until the bubble indicates level. Take a reading then flip it around and do it again to eliminate the error of the protractor.
The low tech way is a string with a weight. Make some kind of stand to hold the string steady. Measure from the top of the rim to the string then measure from the bottom of the rim to the string. Then measure the diameter at which you did the first two measurements. Apply simple high school trigometery to get the angle.
