OK my question is i got a 2005 525i with size 20 wheels wich are wearing my inner tires due to the factory 1.5 or 2.0 negative camber on our cars in the rear, i know that some of ours cars can be adjusted. Is my car adjustable? or do i need to buy a correcting kit, Thanks.

Any alignment center can do it without a camber kit but camber doesn't kill your tires. It's toe that give you a tire seperation. Have them check toe because that will kill your tire faster than camber ever will
