Default inside wear

the insides or my rear tires are getting worn horrible, and the outside is fine ( **** camber )



I was told simple camber adjustment bolts would do the trick, anyone recommend some please?

the car comes with negative camber from factory to improve handling. you can have a tire shop swap the tires from left side -> right side to even out the wear


rear camber can be changed via adjustable bars.

front camber can be changed via adjustable A-arms.

Make sure your toe is set within specs too. If your toe is too far out of whack your tires will scrub. This happened to my last set of Toyo T1R's. My car tracks straight, but regardless I think the alignment of the rear wheels is off and basically I have a little too much negative camber plus a little too much toe-in, which caused the inner edge of my rear tires to get worn down after about 15k miles of use. They got to be unbearably loud. If I hadn't sold that setup, I would have swapped tires side to side just to get a little more life out of them. Although in extreme cornering I suppose having a worn outer edge isn't a great idea either.
