I don't understand this statement for 2 reasons. If I had a camber kit, how would it cause this issue? If anything, I would think the camber kit would prevent it. Also, I didn't think camber kits existed for our cars. Am I wrong? If so, then I need to look into a camber kit.
Another here mentioned RCAs. I'm not sure what those do, so I need to look into that.
i have ruffly the same same set up (df210's and 20's w/ 255/35-20) and mine looks nothing like that? truenoboy-when was the last time you got new tires, rotated them, or got an alienment? that looks really bad. at least you cought it before you had a blow out at speed.
for you experts how much would a good alienment save your tires, ie miles with alienment vs not alienment miles?

Ikea adjustable A arms will get camber back in spec. Look em up on the Carson site.
RCAs will improve no more then 1 degree of camber. Search either Exact or Sage. Lot's of threads on camber right now.
THE FIRST thing you should do is just get an alignment. Unless you are slammed down to zero gap or less, the other two above options are helpful but not critical.
Show us a before & after alignment reading. If you alignment is good or rather if your alignment was really bad, then no need to do anything else.
I highly suspect that you are running a Toe OUT condition.
Excessive toe out will wear out your tires as much or more than excessive camber.
Camber is also a key contributor, but toe out will accelerate the inner tire wear waaaaaaay faster. A worse case can kill the tires in well under 2-3k miles.
