Angry inner tire wear problems 2005 is 300

soo this is for my daughters car, 2005 is 300 and let me first just say I had no experience with theses cars when she bought it but in the 2 years since we started to work on it I have become a big fan of these cars, the motor is excellent 2jz vvti ,everything I've read about it is positive, I love the power it has , the fact that its rear wheel drive etc.....so I did have to put a new timing belt on it, at 154000 miles that's pretty common and it hasn't missed a beat ,runs like a top. I lowered it on Megan coil overs that were recommended by her friends as a budget friendly brand with 18" 9.5" 35 avi wheels also budget friendly but we do have much bigger plans for the car in terms of performance down the line but I'm having a bit of trouble with the inner tire wear being so severe and what to do about it can anybody lead me in the right direction as far as ball joint upgrades , upper and lower control arms and anything else suspension wise that I can do to get this thing rolling right. Ill give updates on what works and how I got it to work
looking forward to being a member here seems like everyone here helps each other out with info without the badgering that you see on other sites

Yep. That's what happens when you lower the car. Tires wear on the inside really fast. Best to put it back to stock height.

You need an alignment. At the very least, the toe setting must be within stock parameters. More negative camber than stock will still wear the tires faster than normal over the long term, and unevenly, but incorrect toe is what causes them to wear very fast.
