Excessive inner rear tire wear
Hey guys. My rear tires are wearing as if I’m running crazy negative camber and I can’t find a solution. I’m on stock suspension and my alignment is in check. Does anyone have any ideas as to what’s going on and how I can fix it? My rear tires lasted 3k miles before being worn down to the bead on the inside and untouched on the outside. I haven’t tracked my car and drive pretty reserved except for spirited cruises on the weekends in some hilly areas with decent turns. When I go out for drives it’s still nothing close to like how I would drive on a closed track. I even got another alignment done today after putting new wheels and tires on and there’s nothing more they can do. The camber and toe are in check. (I attached a photo of my measurements) This was with the stock rays wheels and 275/35 Nitto extreme tires and running 25mm spacers. Does anyone have any ideas as to what’s going on? As of right now I think my best bet is to buy adjustable camber arms and align them to 0 instead of the stock measurements of -2. What do you guys think? Any help is much appreciated. Thanks

Your rear toe was NOT in check prior to today’s alignment. Look at the BEFORE rear toe, side to side difference.
Toe actually kills tires much faster than camber. Wrong toe + wrong camber will eat up tires even faster. |
