I have 19x8.5 in front with 235/35/19 +40 offset. In the rear I got 19x9.5 with 265/30/19 +40 offset. The question is I got my wheels and tires for less than 2 months(everthing brand new) and now the rear tire is worn out so bad (only from the inside) and has no tread whatsoever left (to the metal). My front tire seeme to be okay but now I need to get 2 more new tires on the back. Is this normal? Im I getting the right offset for my wheels in the rear? Can anyone help me? thanks in advance...

 

it has little to do with the offset, it has to do with your suspension. i bet your car is lowered right? how low is it? did you do alignment after you lowered your car? it's mostly likely the negative camber on your suepension that kill the inside of the tire

 

thanks a bunch for the reply romini. that's really help to know. but as far as i know, i already align the whole four wheels after i put in the shocks. the car itself is lowered on eibach springs and tokiko shocks. I live in orange county and HW motorsports did the work on my car and in that case i think they didn't do a good job on alignment then. Is there any other possibilities to that abnormal tire wears? thanks again

 

that's weird, do you drive hard? did they give you the printout from the machine saying the before and after spec? did you hit something (potholes) after you did the alignment? you just have the eibach springs that's not that low at all (fwiw my car is a lot lower) and the wear is just way too quick for a 2 months old tires (unless you drive 20k miles in 2 months...).

 

Most alignment shops provide 6 months warranty....have them check it again. You should have also gotten a printout of the actual before and after...plus the spec range.

Check camber, but more importantly....check your toe. If toe out....then that will cause your tires to wear out on the inside....negative camber doesn't help either.
