    I've got 18x9 rims all round and noticed the front tyres are wearing on the inside. I remember a post somewhere saying this can happen with wide rims. Is it a wheel alignment issue or something else? Thanks.

    Sounds like you need a wheel alignment.

    You may also require some adjustable components to allow the alignment to be corrected. If the car is standard you can only adjust toe.

    You may be right. Thanks.
    I remembered where I saw that info about wearing tyres on the inside. There's a product on Ebay - Top Pro Rear Upper Control Arms, perfect for lowered cars that wear the inside of your tyres. I don't have modified suspension but have low profile tyres.
    I'll get the alignment done and see how it goes.
