Jake, what you mention is balancing the line of forward traction and lateral grip. Most radial tires will have more lateral grip with a small amount of negtive camber. The rear tires like some negative camber just like the fronts do.
Solid axles will benefit from negative camber also - I've done this myself with very impressive results, to the point I either need to raise the static RC by 1" or increase the rear roll rate by about 5000 lb-ft/rad.
