Exclamation 99 Civic SI Tire Problem

The car originally came with 14" rims and during the summer months i put on 17" rims. I noticed when i put the 17's on that the tires were not fully even on the ground and this is including the front and rear tires. Both front and back tires are being worn out in the inside of the tire due to the full tire not on the ground. so pretty much its like \ / when you look at the tires.

If anyone has any ideas on what i could do to fix that problem please help me out or show me in the direction of a person who could.

get an adjustable camber kit and you say \ / that would wear out the outer side of tires. now if its the inner side of the tire check inside of your fender wells to find wear tires are rubbing from when you turn sharp. also what tire size are you runing.


also dont double post you have the same post in general civic talk

most likely your car just needs a alignment. most people blame the tire angle or crappy tire when your car only needs a 4wheel alignment!

and when ever you buy new tires its best to get a alignment. cost of a alignment is only like 50-80bucks and ONE tire costs what 50+ bucks so if a alignment saves just one tire its paid for itself!
