Default my tires r showing wires!

hi well the problems is that i have a little bit of negative camber so it wore down on the inside now i took the wheel off and idk if i have a camber kit or if its stock but i moved the adjustable part all the way down to straighten the wheel out as much as i could it didnt move much maybe like a half inch...my question is do hondas have a way of adjusting camber stock or do i have a camber kit on it already? thank you for ur help whoever replies

it sounds like you have a camber kit on it already, judging by your description.

but it also sounds like you have an alignment problem all together. it may not be the camber you have to worry about as much as your toe adjustment.

just remember, camber wears tires. toe EATS tires.

My suggestion to you is take it to get new tires, and have it aligned immediately.

stock cambers arent adjustable they are only for stock ride height. if your car is lowered in order to adjust the cambers it must be an aftermarket kit. you need to get an alignment. And whipe all the dirt of the camber to see if its a different color other then black. if its a different color then its an aftermarket.
