i wouldnt recommend that .. due to the fact that its going to be hard to make them even .. plus .. im not entirely sure if bending the upper A arm would even change camber .. if anything you would have to extend or shorten the the length of the arms .. if you do bend it .. i would think it would end up hitting something

IIRC you can't "bend" cast aluminium and expect it to retain rigidity or strength.

I would never even think about doing such things to a suspension item like that, if i remember right they use cast aluminum and if thats true then bending it will make about as strong as a brick, you hit one bump or put any strain on it and bam it will snap. If i were you it would be smarter to just live with the tire wear or buy CK

Even if it was possible it would be impossible or at least very very very hard to align it correctly...it would cost more for the machine/tools to do it than the camber arms. Don't be cheap and buy a pair.
