    yea...because u have way bigger rims then the stock ones ur wheels and tires are angled down on the ground..causing 1 side to wear out faster than the other...u need a camber kit to correct that

    Or he may have enough adjustability in the factory alignment components.
    Most people throw these massive wheels on their vehicles and don't think once or twice about an alignment after. Alignments aren't done solely to keep your car going straight, they are done to align the suspension to the proper specifications for a proper handling vehicle.

    I usually do the transition at the end of October, to prevent against freak storms from catching me out (given that Winky is Anna's primary mode of transportation, I value safety above all).

    There's a couple of days that I'm going to be keeping my eyes on, in the coming week or so, but I think I'll make it to November, no-sweat.



    Still chewing on what, exactly, to do with the wifey's winter setup......
