i havent done it but im guessing if you want posative camber you put washers in the bottom 2 bolts that hold the stub axle on, put them in the top if for some silly reason you require negative camber

Well just measure how far away from the arch you want the tyre,then get a washer that thickness.Or 2 thinner 1s.

^^that wont work at all as the spacing will be near the centre line of the wheel so by the time you get to the outer edge it will move the wheel a lot more
tbh don’t use washers, make a shim from some thin flat plate, preferably a ‘trouser’ shim style, i.e two legs with a gap in the middle, then undo all four bolts a few turns, lever the hub out a bit and slide it in so the bolts go in the ‘gap’ of the shim, then do the bolts up, i would think somewhere around 0.3-0.5mm plate will be loads and will spread the loading across the hub rather than just on the 2mm or so surrounding the bolt a washer will give
