Use as a plumb bob. Of course this method requires the vehicle to be on a level surface to start with.
Afix the string to the top of the rim at a fixed distance away from the rim, let string hang straight down. Carefully measure the distance from rim to string at top, and at bottom. If bottom number is smaller, you have negative camber. Using the rim diameter, the difference of the above measurements, and a little geometry, you can figure out the angle.
You can also use an ordinary carpenter's level to establish the vertical reference line. Not exactly rocket science.
