Consider taking out the camber?
Alright this is what's going on, I wanted a sports car because I needed to reward myself with a 350Z, because well... I'm american, and because it's a not eco friendly and it would **** off the biggest liberal in the United States, Barrack Obama.
Anyways this damn car chews up tires so fast it's killing me, and it's only on the insides. I have no real intentions of making it my race car.... yet. So I'm looking for ideas, has anyone ever done any mods to remove the camber, or put it at a much less agressive degree of corner tire munching???

Moved to the proper forum
Maybe it's not just the camber. You may have too much Toe-in. Have you even had your alignment checked to see if it's within spec?

I'm sure the president has noticed your purchase and is really, really angry!
You bought a car to spite somebody? Time to grow up and learn about alignment specs and full power take offs.
Since you like wasting resources why not continue wearing out tires?

Curious, are you cornering hard around town a lot?
Is the inside wear biased much more to the front?
^ you can pm me the answers to the 2 question's above if you'd like.
As was said before, get a alignment and make sure you toe in front and rear. Incorrect toe is the most frequest cause of inside tire wear on these cars, not negitive camber. Of course you cannot adjust front camber without front camber arms, but you can adjust the rear, nothing's wrong is your situation if you want to dial out rear camber, just as long as your DO NOT compromise rear toe in settings.
Another thought is to monitor inside wear and pay to simply have the tires flipped so the insides become the outsides. For the price of mounting and balancing you get twice the tire life.
I would think too much toe in would result in outer tire wear.
