Default tire wear

wat can i do to stop the inner wearing on my 17's, the car is lowered and i am not to sure how low it is , it was lowered when i got it. It has to be lowered a lot considering the 17's are up in the rear wheel wells a little bit, and there are no wheel gaps in the front fenders. What can i do other than purchasing a camber kit, if there is anything to do.

get a camber kit...they might be hard to install but it saves the money you would be spending on new tires.
unless you get those cheap "big o" brand tires, then you could just buy those everytime you need new tires.

camber kit and alignment...done deal.

don't know which camber kit... go with Ingals or SPC... SPC comes highly recommended by many HT users. search for SPC and you'll get alot of topics about it.

Tire wear on the inside shoulder is caused by toe-out. Take your car to an alignment shop and have them set the toe to factory specification.

Depending on the type of rack they have, you will probably have to remove your front bumper to get the car on the alignment rack, and to have line-of-sight for the optical sensors.

if you're low on cash just get the toe corrected on front and back
camber+bad toe=Shitty Tire wear
you can still get decent wear from negative camber
