    Positive camber tire wear

    Yes I'm a e30 "noob" and my car is slammed pretty low. I started noticing tire wear on the inside. After some brief researching I found camber plates but noticed that they're for the front wheels. My front aren't that bad it's the rear that are really positive.

    What are some ways around this? (besides lifting my car)

    If your car is low you have negative camber (tires in at the top). You can buy weld on adjusters for your rear subframe to correct your excessive camber and toe. The toe is what is wearing your tires BTW.

      Well now I feel like a dumbass calling it positive. Thanks for the input though. I know toe wears them quick, but wouldn't having negative camber contribute to this?

        A lot less than you would think. The parts to fix your situation are fairly inexpensive , can you weld?

          sadly, no. But my dad is an excellent welder and I still live with my parents!

              You can also buy raised subframe bushings that will correct for some of the camber and toe problem, adjusters are better though.
