Spacers and Uneven Tire Wear
I just had the 2000 mile rear differential oil service today, and my mechanic showed me that I had uneven tire wear involving outside parts of all 4 tires.
I had 18 mm spacers installed 1500 miles ago. Has anyone else had this problem? How do I fix this? Maybe wheel alignment?
Thank you for the help.

So you are saying you have wear only on the tire area towards the wheel fender (wheel stem side) ? Spacers extend the wheels out but the geometry of the tire wear should be the same and it is for me (I have 18mm spacers square). It appears you have reverse camber; lowering the car will create negative camber or inner tear wear. I would get it aligned with the spacers on of course.
