Default Can camber and toe be adjusted?

Just replaced my tires yesterday and the inside was completely gone while the outside looked almost new. Before I go to an alignment shop...

Can Toe and Camber be adjusted?

I've heard that in front only toe can be adjusted. Is this true?

What about the rear.

Yes, to a limited extent toe and camber can be adjusted front and rear. I had the same thing happen on the rear tires, I was running a 275/30/19 Nitto 555 on a Maya 10.5" wide wheel. The inside of the rear tires were really showing some wear while the remainder looked about brand new after about 5000 miles on them, fronts were fine. This is on stock suspension, minus the Eibach Sways.

I just mounted some Conti 295/30/19 on the rear wheels, 255/35/19 on the fronts. I'm not going to install them until I get an alignment and remove some of the rear negative camber. I'll see if I can reduce the negative camber enough to slow the inner tire wear, if not, I'll just install a Eibach/SPC camber kit and get it taken care of. I'll probably go ahead and get the camber kit anyways as I plan to lower the Z.

I got 33k on my Conti's. Even after 20k they were in pretty good shape but you can tell they were wearing quicker on the inside. I guess my camber is not as bad as I thought.
I have the 255/35/19 on 19x8.5 and 285/35/19 on 19x10.5 SSR GT3. I went from Conti's to BF Goodrich KDW since Conti discontinued some of their sizes including the 285/35/19, dont know about the 295/35 but you already have them.

That's good to hear you got some miles out of them. How do you like the BFG's compared to the Conti's?

Too early to tell, I have about 20 miles on them. I'll let you know once I put more miles on them. They seem a little stiffer, but I haven't taken any hard turns or anything like that.
