Like Robbie said, the camber won't change, however, if the tire sizes are significantly different, the width between the contact patch of your front tires can be larger or smaller, affecting your stance that way.

Also, just for piece of mind...Negative camber alone doesn't kill tires aggressively, it's the negative camber + the resulting toe-out that causes the scrubbing that kills tires. So long as your toe is 1/32 to 0 you're safe...Greater than 1/16 you'll start to see accelerated wear.
