Alignment
I am having trouble with inner rear tire wear, I'm running 245 40 18, the front if fine, however last tire change I noticed it, the alignment tech told me that there was no adjustment in the rear. I am now considering what I have read about the lensolo rear kit. This kit is $300, Im wondering if there are any other options in Atlanta ?

I take it the car is lowered? If so, there is always a way to adjust camber or toe. In some cases it will require aftermarket camber bolts, or new rear lateral arms. There is going to be adjustment for toe, and 'should' be for camber too from the factory.

your camber is off. Camber means inside or outside tire wear. The tire is simply not riding flat and square to the road. You could have a bent camber arm or just worn bushings. Do you carry alot of heavy stuff in the trunk? Several options and all are around the $300 price range and one is free.
1. Renntech sells camber adjusting bushings which replace your original non adjustables in the upper camber arms.
2. Benzboi makes adjustable camber arms and is on this and other forums. No familiarity with him yet.
3. SpeedyBenz makes adjustable camber arms but takes a lonnng time to respond.
4. Lensolo makes adjustable camber arms and they appear to be good quality and robust. He responds right away. leonard.carson@gmail.com Turn around is 2-4 weeks and he has 5 sets in the works that are unpaid for orders. You can jump in line.
5. Empty the trunk so there is less squat to the rear suspension wearing the inside of the tire!
2,3and 4 are all on this forum and other Benz forums. There may be other options but these are the ones I know of. Before buying anything I would check the alignment for the rear and see if you are out much. The rear has no adjustment from the factory that I can see. Good luck.

300E a couple 1994 w124wagon E320 Wagon/,1971MGB Track/Rally, MG Midget Autocross ,2000 E320 wagon.
You missed a few
K-mac rear camber bushings(they are rebuild able)
and increasing the diameter of both sway bars.
He probably should have a 235/40/18 on the correct offsets,and if quality tires and stock ride heigth,get the suspension inspected for worn rear bushings,bent or worn parts, if tire wear is excessive.
what are the rim specs?ET etc.
