You need to have an alignment done and set the toe to 0. Toe wears tires, not camber. I'm assuming you dropped your car and never had an alignment done...

You should really invest in say some skunk2 rear camber kits.
Its probaly the smartest investment i ever made. I imagine ive saved hundreds upon hundreds of dollars in tires.

Well when I talked to the dude at the alignment place he new exactly what I was talking about and he said as he pointed to the part "that is your rear upper control arm it needs to be adjustable that will fix it" he said nothing about the lower control arm and the part that I ordered said exactly that upper rear adjustable control arms looked just like the stock but they had bolts to adjust length hope they work now there may be some fancier word than control arm but Im pretty sure thats whats holding the top of wheel cause theres no axel...am I wrong? anyway ya it rides pretty low front was done correctly just working on the back I have 17s and they might rub did anyone have to bring in the bottom of the wheel with lower aftermarket control arms its a 99 civic ex

I'm running almost -4deg camber with 0 toe and no issues. Before I was about -2deg with 1/16" toe and was fine. When I dropped lower, I started to wear at 1/16" and set to 0 and have had no problems since.
Your tires are more sensitive to toe the lower you're dropped. Camber dictates how the tires will wear (inside, outside, etc.) but toe is the root cause of that wear.
