Excessive wear on inside

I have the 18" 350z wheels. Slight positive camber in the rear wheels. Today I noticed the insides of both rears are wearing excessively. Any ideas to fix that? Only the front is lowered with H&R. Rear suspension is stock.

It's kind of strange because with positive camber it's the outer that should wear faster !

I dont believe there is an adjustment for the pinch on the rear ( toe in toe out ) did your car has even been in a rear accident ?

if you haven't had the car aligned lately, do so.

Is this your car in the sig pics ?

I'd be concern as this tire is note made to go on that rim for obvious reason. lol

1. If you have positive camber on the rear, something's broken. you car is set with -1* from the factory on a non-adjustable beam.

2. you probably need to lower the rear ride height. With as much drop as you put in the front, it tilts the rear suspension and causes weird alignment issues that weren't designed from the factory.

3. do you have an RSB?

4. when was the last time you rotated the tires? Checked inflation pressures? Are the tires matched?

5. When was the last time you had it on a 4 wheel alignment rack?
