Camber Wear
Hey all,
I have 19's and have a "fat" setup with 245/40 tires in the front. I checked my tires this morning, and the inner portion of the front two tires are wearing out pretty bad. When i had my rims put on about 6 months ago, i also got an alignment, so i'm not sure why my tires are not treading evenly.
The rear tires are perfectly even, so what's going on?
Do you think i need to get another alignment because my first one wasn't any good?
Would it help if i switched to 245/35?
Need your input. thanks.

I recently had an alignment and they could not adjust it that well. It was done at a very reputable shop also (custom cars). It is hard when you are lowered and no one makes a camber kit for our cars. The shop only improved my toe and camber marginally. I was pretty aware of the situation before getting the alignment. That is why I went with Hankook Ventus VR4's in front..... treadwear: 420.

Maybe try raising the car up a bit and then getting another alignment. Exact Motorsports included front lowering blocks in front when they installed my Tein CS. It helped because I'm at 1/2 finger gap all around on 20's and the front only has very slight camber. I think there are other manufacturers who carry the same part but I don't know who. The lowering block did not fix the camber but helped reduce its effect.
