I havent got it aligned yet but wondering what else if anything could be causing this, maybe someone has seen it before. First I have stock 17 2G GSX wheels on my 97. It has 215/40 zr17s and on all 4 tires looks like the inside edge of the tread is rubbing on something, like they were put on a lathe and about 1/2 inch of the tread is worn clear through the belts. Like its rubbing but cant see anthing. Anyone ever seen this?
 
I had real bad inside tire wear on my car after i lowered it. The negative camber (tires--> //----\\) will wear out the inside real quick. I lowered my car and put on the rear camber mod which helped some, then i put on an ingalls camber kit in the front which helped the camber. But the caster and toe where still off.

I know a shop in rocky mount that does computerized 4 wheel alignments for $50.
 
if ur ca is lowered the camber is off, one of my friends wore out the inside tred 5 tires to the point where they burst in 1 month in his integra because it was lowered and didnt have a camber kit
if its not lowered then ur toe is off by a whole lot, and u need an alignment, that could wear out the tires but nowhere near as fast as too much negative camber will
