It is used in cases where a persons wheel/tire setup is such that a light rub occurs on hard dips. A little negative camber is often all that is required to tip the top of the wheel in enough to eliminate the rub.

id like to add my 2cents on this, the OP hasnt let us know yet WHY he wants negative camber but he did mention that its cuz he has new wheels and was interested in this ofset spacer thing.

negative camber does help with hard turns in the rear with our rear twist beam. not alot of negative, but a little bit. i autocross and i chalk my side walls and i got a laser temp gun. and i do notice a small amount of increase of temp on the ouside of the tire than the inside. only about 5-10 deg F. really nothing to worry about in my opinion. the front though with stock camber alighn was about 25-30deg diff.

but i think the OP obvious reason for doing negative camber is his wheels are rubbing i little bit. either he lowered it or went 17" wheels and i bigger tire then usual. or he got a lower offset and he wants that "wheel tuck" look which i think looks awesome on showcars but i laugh when i see them driving on the roads..
