Wouldnt you get more wear on the inside of the tyre with normal driving?

Yes you will get more wear on the inside shoulder...even running a relatively mild 2 deg. But negative camber will (generally) give you better turn in and more contact through the corner but will make the car a little less stable in a straight line and will tram line on undulations. Also road conditions play a part...eg you don't want excessive negative camber in the wet or on rougher roads which is why tarmac rally cars tend not to run excessive neg compared to track cars.
Adjustable top hats are a better way to get neg camber than using camber bolts. Some coilovers (eg DMS) have eccentric camber adjustment at the bottom of the strut.
