Rear tire wear/camber/toe-in

I just noticed that the drivers' rear tire has cords showing on the inside of the tire. After checking the passengers' rear tire, the tread is definetly worn on the inside but not as much.

Does this mean the camber is wrong on the rears because the tread wear is at an angle? I have significant more wear on the outsides of the tire than the rear.

Do I need to get the camber bolts as well.. Really confused on what to do. Closest dealership is 120 miles away...


Thanks

get an alignment if you're curious or worried, these cars come with moderate negative camber from the factory

i hate to tell you but thats normal. its the camber set up from the factory. if you change it my brain says it will effect the handling.

yep. my pzeros only last about 4500 miles. outside edges were near perfect looking and the further you went towards the inside the worse the wear.

Get a rear camber kit, it should resolve the issue

As far as I know the only company that does a camber kit for the C63 is Kmac and I only saw a front camber kit...

No you're right they do have one my bad, but that's if you can order it. Last time I tried, the online order form did not work, I sent an email twice without a single reply. The first one was the actual copy of the order so they can process it, the second one was to cancel (each of them a few days apart).

That's awful customer service.
