Got pictures inside...19" wheels just on and got problems....really need help!
Hello all, I just install my 19" rims on my car, and the left front are tuck in than the right front, and the back too but not as much. Anyone know whats the cause of that? It didn't happen when I have my stocks on or maybe I didn't notice it. I am lowered on S tein. Please help. Really want to fix it, and had spend alot of money on it already.

Same experience here. You need an alignment done. It's not noticeable with the stock wheels because they tuck in, but with after market wheels the offset is more aggressive and they tend to line up with the fenders, this makes it much easier to see which wheels are off. For me it was the left rear, it looked like the guy gave me the wrong offset and that side of the car was 1/4" lower than the rest. After an alignment I learned that the LR was at -1.3 camber and the rest were around -0.5. This was all on an unmodified stock suspension.

I did an alignment not too long ago (maybe 5 months ago) with stock wheels. I will do an alignment maybe tomorrow, but do you guys think i should let the wheels settle first befor ei do an alignment?

it may be your springs sagging on one side or you may have more camber on one side and didn't notice with smaller wheels. check your alignment.

Quick Stupid Question, Chamber Is / \ (tires) Looking Straight At The Car And Toeing Is / \ (tires) Looking Down At The Car. Just Asking Because My Stock 19" Wheels Were A Year Old And The Inside Tread Is Worn Down Bad. I Bought New 20" And Don't Want The Same Problem. What Do I Need To Fix?
There is already some negative camber set in from the factory thats why you see that the inside of your wheels are more worn. How bad is it? Have you had an alignment recently? IF so what were the numbers? If you dont what your tires to wear out as fast on your 20 you might want to look into camber kits to get rid of some of the negative camber.
