Just noticed today that the car is chewing the inner side of the passenger tire. The remaining 3 corners do not have this problem.

The car is lowered.

I think I have maybe -1.2 camber in front, not more than that.

I don't know if its the toe that needs to be adjusted or something else is causing this?

Just seems weird that only 1 tire is having the problem.....

sounds like it can be a toe problem

I'm currently experiencing this problem. I noticed that my rear wheels are both tilting out. I have a negative camber issue and don't know if its due to alignment or not. I noticed it a few hundred miles after I got my new 20" wheels and tires put on. I'm not lowered though. My rear passenger side is worse then my rear drivers side.

That's what I was thought, but it seemed strange that it's just one tire.

Sevn86 - I think you got a shoddy alignment. I would have your Lexus dealership do an alignment so it will be right. The size of your aftermarket wheels do not affect alignment.

SNiiP3R - It sounds like you may have hit something (e.g. pot hole) with the right front to mess up the alignment, or the tie rod adjustment sleeve is/came loose. I would get it aligned as soon as convenient so your tire doesn't scrub away, which can happen quickly.

could be pothole or something, definitely get it aligned and see what's up

having factory negative camber is ok, that's how it's supposed to be. as long as the negative camber is not too bad you should be fine. but having it noticeably different between left and right that doesn't sound right.

and also, when it comes to inside tire wear, negative camber is a factor, but in general toe in/out is a much bigger factor

Negative camber is not ok on our cars if not lowered lol...my tires were literally gone on the rear but it wasn't camber ...it was negative toe...once they did alignment it's fine.

Literally have the same issue, my tires are shot had to switch to winter early cause of it. It was the toe to blame cause I got an alignment and it still didn't save the tires.

Ahh So im not the only who had to switch over early.


The inside wear on the rears killed my tires. I knew I needed an alignment but what's done is done

Funny story I was told by dealer to get it replaced, went by 2 weeks then saw your post and decided it was time to put the winter wheels on. I had an alignment though I think we have to get a camber kit in order for it to not wear in the rear that bad my plan is to purchase that and get it on the car.

The Camber kit is hit or miss isn't it? From what I've read on here most cars are ok with a moderate drop.
I'm really trying to decide if I should install them on mine while I'm installing the drop springs....

Can toe be adjusted/ fixed?

^^^yes. that's the number one thing you want corrected when getting an alignment...
toe should be set to zero
