rear tire inside edge worn out 8,000 miles
I upgraded my 18 size wheel to m5 oem 166 wheel a year ago. I only put up 8,000 miles and the inside edge on the rear is worn out already. I had alignment done with oem specs at that time. It seems like there is too much negative on the rear camber on this car. Any recommendation on tires and alignment next time new tires is purchased? thanks

This is copied from Bav Auto website, BMW Parts and BMW Accessories | Bavarian Autosport. I have no personal experience with this product. Enter your vehicle info, then select suspension & steering, rear axle, trailing arms/suspension components. Look for the adjustable camber kit.
Optimize rear camber to maximize performance or tire wear. Bavarian Autosport's adjustable camber kit replaces both inner bushings on rear lower control arm, allowing you to fine-tune camber to suit your purpose, whether it's better handling at the track or prolonging the life of your rear tires--especially important if you have lowered you BMW's chassis or installed 'plus size' wheels. Kit comes with a handy tool for installation and removal of bushings. Allows approximately 2.00 degrees of adjustment on a car lowered 40mm.
