so I walked behind my car and glanced at the rear wheels and could see that driver side clearly has camber and the top of the tire is leaning slightly towards the diff. This was confirmed by looking at the tire and seeing is wearing badly along the inner edge (about a 1.5 inch patch) Also I thought it was strange that the car completely spins even in second gear and the car is pretty much stock. The passenger side doesn't seem to have this problem and from what I can tell and the tire seems to be wearing evenly although they're pretty bald
I just got the car a month or two ago and have hardly drove it but it needs new tires and I don't want to ruin them shortly after putting them on. The only ideas I have are that the idiot I bought it from has 1 inch or so wheel spacers on the rear because he had 20 inch rims on when I bought it, don't Ask me why, but maybe that is effecting the camber. I had him put the 17" inch ponies back on before I bought it. I haven't taken off the spacers because it seems like that's the only way the tire will sit flush with the fender. Do I need a wheel with a different offset to fix that problem? It looks the tires will be way inside the fender if I take them off. only other reason I can think of that could maybe effect camber is that it has adjustable rear control arms and just by looking at it i can see the passenger side is set a lot higher then the driver side.
Sorry if I'm rambling but let me know what you guys think. Thanks!
