Rubbing alcohol will take the glue off with a little elbow grease

You can try heating the residue up with a heat gun, get the bulk of it off. I would go with Goo Gone or maybe some WD-40 and some elbow grease otherwise.

Look up threads on tire feathering for your other issue.

With the headlights, a clay bar may well lift that gunk off.

What size shoes and socks is your Zed running?? Might be a little oversize perhaps, and a little low, combo may = rubbage.

Not sure what size they are previous owner bought the car with the mods he said he researched it and they were done right. It doesn't rub, but they are wearing on the inside so I am thinking they are towed in to avoid the rubbing?

Another thing, the driver door lock opperates fine. It has a viper alarm. The passenger door unlocked via remote and button but doesn't lock via either, must be locked manually.

Thanks,
Rhett

Huntinaz, just a small point, towing is what you do with a boat trailer; a small amount of ‘toe in’ is the normal specification for most cars. Proper sport cars always have a fair amount of negative camber. This means that the inside edge of the tread will wear much faster than the center or outside edge.
