Gonna happen....
if you run her that low! Have you installed the crash bolt kit on the rear? may help some, but if she's going to stay that low, might not.
Looks crazy nice though....

I had an alignment done right after I put new Hankooks. Outside was looking good. Then I looked and the inners was worned down to the belt. Had to get emergency order of tires. Really ticked my off. The guys at the shop checked the alignment and said all were within specs. My brother in law (M5 owner) says german performance cars have a negative camber for better handling. I only got 15K on the inside of the Hankooks. From the looks of the outside, I have 5-7K more to go.

Mine is lowered and averages 4k miles for rears and 6k for fronts. I added K-macs and it does help however I decided to go back because the car handled much better (obviously) with high neg. camber due to the additional camber thrust (I race). Obviously I can choose to drive at the oem ride height and that would take care of the problem. K-macs will set you back about 1500-1800 per axle (p & L).

I have the same exact problem, I just got new tires around 3k miles ago and I wouldnt be surprised if they were already gone. Im willing to pay that cost to have it looking good
