What is your camber spec? Any camber kits installed?

With that tire wear, and the mechanic saying they can't adjust the camber more there's definitely no camber kit. I'm going to guess like 8-10 degrees negative camber. OP, happen to have a picture of your wheels from behind with them mounted on the car?

8-10 degrees of negative camber is pretty serious. Pretty sure OP would've noticed if his wheels had that much camber. I don't even think you can reach 8-10 degrees without a camber kit unless you completely slam the car to the point of scraping on a smooth road.

The most camber you'll see w/ a mild drop like Eibach is about -2.75. I'm guessing the OP lowered the G and drove it without getting it aligned. If you don't get it aligned your toe will be out quite a bit, this combined w/ the higher camber and soft summer compound tires will get exactly what you see in those photos. If you lower it on Eibachs, get it aligned, you'll still get inner side tread wear but it will be much more reasonable.

blnewt nailed it. Toe kills tires more then camber.

I would say negative 3 and no more than that of camber for decent tire wear. Make sure you keep your toe in spec I had inner tire wear but after 30k miles but I kept camber at negative 1.8 and toe in spec most of the whole time. 2 aligment as in one year during the life of the tire

I have the same issue with my front tires as well except I am running a 275/35/20 size. I am on coils and my toe was in spec and I don't have a camber kit. I haven't had the time to see what can be causing this. For now I am not driving it. I am curious to see what caused this serious tread wear.

How low are you? And especially if you're running softer compound summer tires that kind of wear can be common w/ heavy camber, even if toe is proper.

I forgot what my camber specs were but I know I am few degrees off in the fronts. The tires I have on are also very wide. My buddy sold them to me and he had them on his g35 sedan.
