dayam, how much - camber were you running?
-2.7 on both rears and they will still rubbing! I was only running 255 on an 8.5 in. rim. I was so confused lol. I know -2.7 doesn't seem like THAT much but for some reasons it just killed my tires.

your toe must be off in order for your tires to wear that quick

+48 all around. Yea it hadn't been aligned since I lowered it thats why everything was thrown off. Maybe my example isn't the best cause everything was off lol but still - camber can mess you up haha.
