yes it will wear the inner edge of your tyre

normal rear axle and wheels.

note wheels are vertical


camber'd rear axle and wheels
/----------------

note wheel points in at the top and at the bottom the most stress is on the inside edge of tyre

The ez shim camber shims will not work on a corsa, due to the face they mount to not being flat they distort and you will get uneven camber either side and all manner of toe in toe out problems

Been there done that, get you're self some m10 washer and get tinkering ...
