05 G35 Coupe - wanting to fix bad tire wear on front tires

I bought my 2005 g35 coupe with the 19inch wheels this past september and now i cant pass inspection due to my front tires which have a nice tread left on them but the front insides or bald. From what i read this is a common problem. What i want to find out is, what is the least expensive way to solve my issue? Tires are expensive for this car and i need to pass inspection. I dont want to get new tires then have the same thing happen to them and just keep buying tires. What is the least suspension parts I would have to buy to make the front tires wear normally? Where can I find the parts at for the best deal?

If you are stock, no suspension parts needed. You need to go to a good alignment shop and have them set the front toe as close as they can to the max toe in spec and have them set the camber as close to zero as possible. The toe is the most important setting here, better to get more toe in than less camber.

Maybe you can find a shop that won't notice that the inside of the tires are worn. Then you can have a tire shop take the front tires off the rims and rotate them left to right. Then the car will be wearing out the edge of the tire that still has tread.

Not all tires can be rotated from left to right and right to left. Some tires are left and right specific. i had the same issue and i also looked into doing that but the bridgestones i had on were L and R specific. You can not align the front camber on these cars its not adjustable only the rear is. Toe has nothing to do with it either. you need a front camber kit thats your only resolution... SPC makes an affordable camber kit and vendors on here carry these kits. Hope this helps

yeah when i got the alighnment the guy said i would need a front suspension part to make any adjustment. how can infiniti do this to us? Theres no reason for the price of these cars that there couldnt have been an adjustment from the factory. I will have to look into SPC and see about getting that. So its just a camber kit that will give toe and camber adjustment i need to protect my tires?
