I've done 2 degrees negative camber in a street Spridget and with good results. But it depends on various factors. Here's my opinion:
First: Think how you drive.
If it's mostly a street-only cruiser car with an occasional hard run, I'd limit to 2 degrees (or just leave it as is).
If you are using it for mostly hard street driving and autocross, you will benefit up to about 3 degrees negative. Tire may actually last longer since the negative camber will even-out the contact patch when you are driving hardest (and creating most wear)
Second: Think how much you drive.
If you drive more than about 10000 miles a year, inside-edge tire wear will be noticable.
If you drive less than 2000 miles a year, negative camber will not really hurt tire wear since they'll die from age or hard use rather than just thread depth.

I thought about neg camber arms while I had my B, and the biggest thing that held me back was not being able to adjust the camber on the most common neg camber wishbones.
I had found a set of lower wishbones that lowered the car 1" and added camber adjustments at the same time. I can't remember where I saw them on the 'net, but I do remember that the design prompted me to ask the builders about durability of the product. Since I wasn't satisfied with the reply I got, I never bought them.
