1) take your caps lock off. its just polite that way. tire rack forum or s2000 talk should answer this a bit more efficiently, but I'm sure it will be moved there shortly by the moderators.

2) welcome to the group!

3) what wheels did you buy, size, offsets, etc.?

4) inner tire wear is typically from alignments or aggressive alignments that are not used efficiently. you'll need to get your car aligned in the front and rear after you install the wheels.

I wouldn't worry about the wear. You'll end up going through tires anyways. =)

Schatten is correct. The wheel and tire size has nothing to do with the tires wearing quickly. When you lower the car make sure on the alignment and the camber. That is what will wear your tires faster. That and a heavy right foot.
I hope this helps.
