Tyres wearing on the inside.

Is there any 'camber adjust' in the suspension of an E30 325i to stop the tyres wearing on the inside with 17" wheels?

Did your 14/15" wheels wear too? Could just be the tracking out. making camber adjustable seems to be a major project as it isnt just a matter of turning a rod

This site has a pretty good search function, here are a few threads about camber, plenty more too

mine was wearing quickly with my 17's ,but a session on the laser alignment and tracking set up cured it. i dont think camber is adjustable on a standard e30 iirc. if youve hit a large pothole or kerb with little to medium force you could have bent a track rod,they bend surprisingly easily i found with little impact.

eccentric trailing arm bushes (think thats the right ones?) will sort it out apparently, il be getting some off zimmerbimmer when funds allow as i got lots of camber on the rears.

I know Kmac make adjustable camber kits for the e30 front and rear. They're an aussie mob, the workshop is about 1kay down the road from me. I picked up a rear set for around $300AUD, i think its around 130 quid or so in your lingo. They work wonders. I had a good talk with the guy and he told me they supply globally. I have also seen them for sale on U.S ebay for the same price.

I'd try Cotswoldbmw instead if I were you, Zimmerbimmer doesn't work there any more!
