Default Tire wear question?
Right rear has wear on the inside... The other tires all have even wear.

What could cause this?

Camber most likely. Toe maybe.

Combination of the two. camber says where the tire wears. toe says how much.

Default Just one side?.....>
Probably bad Toe. With regular rotations camber wear sould be minimal, but with bad Toe you'll scrub a tire down in no time. The fact that the others re OK would be an indicator...

Default Sure it can. On an unmodded car it's the only adjustment back there...>

Default I have the same issue on my ALMS. The rear wheel never looks right to me
I recently had it aligned by the dealership because no one else around here could align it. Although they did try to charge me for it. It looks like it point in at the front of the wheel and like the camber is off as well. Does your car pull to the left all the time?
