I think I am going to try the Airride's Velocity solution......That gives me more negative camber right?
The velocity pic you posted just shows the alignment. Rather than a shimpack they used those custom spacers for a cleaner finish.

Yes you add more negative camber by adding shims to the upper control arm which effectively moves the arm towards the center of the car. Lots of negative camber will wear out your tires proportionatley faster if you only drive on the street.

EDIT: Have you done anything to modify the suspension geometry? Such as the G-mod? If not then you car will add postive camber as you lower it or the suspensino compresses (pushing the top of the tire outwards). Fixing that and adding 1* negative static camber may fix your clearence issue with the outer fender.
