Default about camber kits

Theres alot of info out there but its very conflicting. I have an og jdm asian neighbor that helped me lower my car like 6 months ago. Since then ive worn out a set of tires from the inner tire side. He said its because the toe is sticking out. I told him I could just get an alignment to zero it out, but he said if I do that the wheel will rub with the fender when I turn the wheel. Is This True? He said I need a camber kit. From the top of my corner light to the ground its 24inches.

He is wrong. Fix the toe, problem solved.

Also, SEARCH. This exact question has been answered a thousand times.

If you are low enough that turning the wheel will cause it to rub on the fender, a camber kit will not fix that.

I'd go to an alignment shop and ask them if they can zero it out. They should be able to and you won't have any issues.

Also, WTF is an OG JDM Asian neighbor?

Just fix the toe with an alignment. A camber kit is only needed when the car is lowered more than 2.25 inches. My hatches camber is still a little to much, might be due to the spring and shock combo. My wheels don't rub by the way and there's no gap in the front and about 1 and a half finger gap in te rear.
