Hi all I lowered my 2004 E55 with lowering links. It looks great. But when I was servicing car last night I noticed inside of tyres wearing pretty badly front and rear. Any ideas or geometry specifications for adjustments??? Anyone else had this problem?? Thanks
 
Has the bad wear only started since fitting them?

I've always wondered if you could get as near to the OEM alignment as possible but leave just the negative camber you've created with the bolts...

I remember once seeing an old late 80s Granada when I was chatting with my local friendly tyre dealer in Bromley - which a lot of Granadas of this vintage seem to have a very negative camber (2.5 > 3 degrees at an estimate) but all that seemed to do was wear the tyre evenly albeit at an angle as you would expect and didn't drastically shorten the life of the tyre.

One for Tony Bones ( @wheels-inmotion ) as I imagine he will know the best way forward...
