Default will 30mm drop cause tire wear?

hi all,
about few months ago I've found info that if you install springs with drop rate more than 1inch then there will be excessive wear of internal side of tires.
is it true?

thanks

yes. if you drop further than that you will need to get camber arms and toe to get your alignment properly adjusted, otherwise you will have this problem.

mostly the rear since that is the problem area that can not be aligned correctly. there are a few threads on ths already in this section, just look up SPC camber arms. not so sure on the front

Any drop in static body height increases negative camber by ~~ 0.83 degrees per inch [25mm].
