Sure, but your alternatives are to raise the ride height, fit tires with shorter sidewalls (even within the same sizing), roll the fenders more, etc. A little more negative camber improves turn-in and cornering grip, so it's always a matter of trade-offs. I run -1.8 deg on the fronts and it's not like I'm losing thousands of miles of tire life vs. -1.3 deg or something.
For context: I run 205/55R16 on 7" fronts on my SC at the previously stated -1.8 deg camber. Tires are Yokohama AD09s, which are ~.1" shorter in total diameter vs. your 205/55R16 Potenza Sports, but .1" wider. I've only had them rub on the fenders once in > 5k of aggressive driving when I hit the bump stops
hard mid-corner with a lot of steering angle :-)
