i have an 07 mustang gt with pro kit drop aftermarket bullitt rims 20x8.5 front 20 x10 in rear

now my front tires bfg kdw2 265/35/20

there is wear and tear in the inside of both front tires any idea what can have caused this?

im going to order new tires but should i order smaller size say 255 or something

going to get an alignment tomorrow but i still need to replace the tires

some people are saying to raise it up an inch but dont want that stock look thanks for your hellp

 

Without seeing pics of what the wear looks like, I'm going to have to go with the default answer: Alignment

Something else occurred to me since I saw your car was lowered. It could be your camber is way too aggressive. How much is the car lowered in the front?

 

its about 1 to 1.3 in the front im working on getting some pics up now

 

here is a close up identical on both front tires

 

drivers side. do u think caster camber plates would help?

 

did you get them aligned after you had the car dropped? like cavero said, it looks like the alignment is off.

camber plates may help, but you would still need to get it aligned.

 

too be honest i dont remember i had these rims and tires installed in the spring of 07 i wanna say i did but im not sure. well im going today to get it aligned but should i wait to get the new tires then an alignment or does it matter?

 

also so u think 265/35/20 is fine?

 

Your 07 probably came with 17 (standard) or 18 (optional) inch rims. To run 20 inch up front, you'll probably need a steering stop kit, to keep from tearing up your tires.

 

Do you have camber bolts installed? You will need them to to fix this problem. make sure to tell the alignment shop you have camber bolts when you get them. The spec sheet the shops use list no adjustment for camber. You will have that problem no matter what size tire you run.
Can you see if the bottom of your tire is farther out than the top of the tire by looking at it from the front of the car?.

 

Okay so i haven't taken it to get aligned yet so where should i order the camber plates from does it matter also yes the bottom tire does stick out more than the top

 

alls you need is camber bolts you can get them at napa parts store. I've seen them on fleebay as well and I may have seen a set in the for sale section here.

and if you want to go with plates, more expense to install.

camber bolts thanks for the link so when i get the bolts should i just take them to the shop for the alignment and hand them the bolts so they can install them?

 

or just install them yourself... and imo, caster/camber plates are overkill. save $100 and get the camber only plates. (that glenn posted) or save alot more and just go with camber bolts.

Edit: Forgot to mention, that's how my tires looked after pro-kit and no camber plates/bolts. I put camber plates on, and havnt had the problem since. so, it's likely your problem

 

camber only plates? the links he posted say camber bolts from latemodel and the other link from american muscle says caster camber plates. i dont see where it says camber only plates

 

it says caster/camber, but my wife has these on her car. they are camber only. just look at the pics. there is no way to adjust them forward/back. only side to side, which would be camber adjustment.

 

Anytime you lower your car....you need to get a 4 wheel alignment....and some camber bolts. This would be the minimum.

Sounds like you forgot to get the alignment.

 

I had the camber bolts and they moved on me over time so I switched to the J&M camber plates when I installed the D specs. If you do any spirited twisty driving save the aggrivation and go with the plates. They can be adjusted easier for twisties then back to stock.

 

but you can only adjust two wheels.
