with a difference of .5 inches and a wheel height of 26 inches, I got about 1.1% of camber.
whether that means i will need cc plates, i don't know. hopefully I did the measuring right, my ground is pretty flat.

The math looks OK.
However, it's more reliable to measure from the outer flanges of the wheels instead of the tire.
-1.1° is within spec and is actually a pretty good place to be if you take corners hard from time to time. Autocrossing or open tracking might benefit from camber that's more negative, but if you only drive mildly or are setting up a dedicated drag strip car, -1.1° may be too much.
