Absolutely not, if you have directional tires.

What you could do is unmount the tires, and remount them, so that the cambered side of the tire isn't in as much contact with the ground.

When tires wear unevenly, rotating them to another position will cause some noticeable vibration. Best to purchase the camber kit and be done with the problem.

you may be able to do this depending on the tires you have. If they are directional then no. You can find out if they are directional by looking for a rotation arrow on the sidewall. Make sure it's pointing the right way in the first place! if you see it say (outside) on the sidewal, then the tires are uni-directional and you can do a cross rotation.

In all honesty, you may want to just get the camber fixed an enjoy a proper ride!
