Hi, my issue is that I have put 19 inch wheels on my falcon and for the second warrent of fitness my front tyres are very worn pretty much right through to canvas on the inside edges of the front wheels the same shape as the bottom spring bracket what would cause this? Do I need to install a camber kit or would be easier to buy smaller wheels? The cheaper option and your opinion would be great thanks

You need to get an alignment read out this will tell you if the camber kit will help, the aligner will be able to advise on seeing the read out while the car is set up on the aligner.

Thanks I had a wheel aglinment when I got new tyres but he didn't help at all, but I have had others tell me that a camber kit is the normal for that model?

Camber kits will help, but i would find a different aligner that will help you work this one out.
