Measure from the centre of the wheel to the edge of the gaurd

will -0.5 camber actually help? Yes but I'd be inclined to put the front on about -1.0, rear at -0.5.

thinking about it now that you mention it... when i was taking the corner it was bumpy... do you think because the setup is so stiff the springs didnt have enough time to react ? is that how it works?
You're on the right track there.
If your setup is too stiff then when the tyre rides up on the bump it will have the effect of catapulting the tyre at the crest of the bump, at which time your tyre/s is/are no longer in contact with the road. Not good unless you are trying to do a jump. The tyre should ride up one side of the bump and then down the other maintaining contact, yet not be so soft that it's like driving the Rottnest Ferry.
