No problem
Yeah camber is how much the wheel is tilted inward - stock our cars don't have any adjustability with this. You have it right though, you can get adjustable camber bolts (the bolts with cams on them) and adjust the camber (tilt) so the wheels tilt inside and the top of the tire sits flush with the top of the fender and give you a nice aggressive look. Assuming your car is aligned properly by a good shop after lowering and adjusting camber, running the camber you'll need (-1.3 to -2 degrees) won't make a big difference in tire wear. Toe changes from lowering are the biggest culprit to tire wear, and should be dealt with once you get your car aligned. A terrific benefit from a mild increase in camber is your front end will bite/feel better in turns. Anyway try adjustable camber bolts and see if you can get enough camber with them - if you need more than that you'll have to go with something else like camber plates.
