Negative camber from Factory?

Does our car come with a bit of negative camber from the factory? I had not noticed this before, but when I changed my tires to put wider 275/35/19 RFT on the rear I can notice a slight negative camber. Was this always there and I just didn't notice it or has the new, wider tires thrown off things? If so, would a toe kit from Stillen or somewhere be necessary.

I expect camber to be off when you change wheel size or lower the car, but didn't expect it from going wider on the wtires on the same OEM wheel. What's up?

IP37 - So my observation is normal... nothing I should worry about due to wider tires?

If so, I must have missed it when things were stock and the wider tires just stick out farther and make it more noticable.
