Help! Tire problems.

I recently switched my front and back wheels and tires. (rotated)
I noticed that the INSIDE of the FRONT tires only, are worn to hell. and the rest of the front, and the back ones are perfect. The car is dropped 2.25" Is this because::

My alignment is off?
I need a camber kit?
Too low/ tires are rubbing on arms?
Other reasons?

I need to fix this fast because my 18"s are here but I don't want to put them on untill I know for sure that my brand new tires won't get eaten up.

Please Help. thanx

It sound like you have negative camber. A camber kit should do the trick!!

yeah, I think so too. But do you think 18"s will fit without rubbing on a 2.25" drop? thats my biggesst concern.

It's defiantely negative camber. If your going with coilovers and 18's like your sig says then you can raise the car up a bit and you'll be ok.

Yeah, I have the coilovers in my trunk right now. And the rims 18's in my garage. I'm kinda questioning the coils now because everyone says it'll ride like shit. Anyone know if the 18's would fit. I'm hoping I can just get a camber kit and sell the coilovers.

I don't think 18's with a 2+ inch drop and a camber kit will fit. Dust has 18's but his drop is not as low so he doesn't rub. I'm sure 18's and a 1.5 inch drop would be ok.

Are you going to sell our vx8's? If so how much you looking to get?
