Increasing Negative Camber

[garyjh@bernstein.com (Gary Harris)]

I just got off the phone with a guy from The Tire Rack.  He told be that in
order to install 16x7.5 wheel on my '88 5000S, I would have to increase the
negative camber of the rear wheels in order to get enough clearance.

Is this true?  If so, and I do increase negative camber, how will it effect
handling?  Can it lead to other problems?

Would there be a noticeable difference in performance if I opted for the
16x7.5 instead of a 15x7 wheel (which, I am told, will fit without adjustments)?

I'm kinda a novice at this stuff (I just love to DRIVE) so I would greatly
appreciate the advice of anyone more knowledgeable.

TIA!!!
