CLK 430 Coupe
What did the rest of you 19'' & 20'' guys do?
I put 19 x 8.5 rims all around on my 430 coupe and now it seems as though the inside of my rear tires are wearing out tremendously faster than any other part. I took it into my mechanic and he told me that the rear alignment has the ability to be adjusted, but not as much as I needed it to be. He also said that there was a kit I could purchase that would allow it to be adjusted further to eliminate this problem that i'm having.
What kit would help with this problem, and where could I get one?
or is there another solution? What did the rest of you 19'' & 20'' guys do?
I'm also considering lowering my car 1.4 in., will this make this problem worse or once I get this "kit" I can lower away with no worries?

Really? What could the problem be? I had it at the dealership 3 months ago and they didn't mention anything about it, could it be something minor?

If you take it to your mechanic, I guess it would depend on how much he charges an hour for labor...
