Is there excssive tire wear on a lowered G?

Hey all, Im a noob so bare with me. When you lower a g coupe, is there excessive tire wear/camber wear? I only ask because Im thinking of getting 19's and 19 inch tires are not cheap. Im not one of the people that want 15 inch wide wheels or lots of camber, I like my car to be as functional as possible so I would like to get a lot of mileage out of my tires.

If you lower it get a camber fit to push the wheels out

Depending on how low you go, your camber will go out of spec but there are camber kits to get you back in spec.

With the correct alignment you shouldn't wear them any faster than another size.

Stay away from spc front a-arms if you're going very low. Those things knocked like crazy for me. I took them off the same day.

I'm running the SPL front camber kit and Stillen rear, couldn't be happier. As mentioned stay away from Ichiba anything and if you need positive camber adjustment up front, your only real choices are the SPC and SPL. Any other front kit is worthless.............

Negative camber by itself won't really mess up your tires that badly, if you're attentive to your setup. Make sure your toe settings are within spec, and be mindful of your tire wear. The style in which you drive will also have a large part in how quickly they wear out.
