Ok guys I have done so much research on this and came across nothing for the past couple days.. Looked here and other sites so I signed up for your help.

I bought my wife a 04 z4 removed the stock 17s and put 19s in its place. And it has gone thru a set of tires in the rear quick (falkens 265 30 19) and i notice that the camber is off thats probably why its eating the tread from the inside edge. Now my question is the stock camber adjustable or do i need a aftermarket camber kit for this thing. I have asked 2 alignment shops and they couldn't answer and time is a big issue for me to just have them look at it. Any help will be greatly appreciated so I can do this the right way the first time.

Thanks
Bobby
 
bobby - had mine lowered and added 19" CSLs, car went in for a full 4 wheel alignment - added slight neg :thumbsup: camber on back wheels to allow for the lowering.. think it was about -2 or something. my advice would be to take her in and get her fully set up.
 
Thanks Marksdesigns, That's is exactly what I'll do and let them take care of this. I was hoping to stay away from aftermarket camber kit as she really doesn't need that lol, So I am glad to hear this. I hope your answer will help someone else out there with a z4 and could not find this solution. Thanks Again :thumbsup:
 
Just to clarify that there's a bit of camber adjustment possible with the stock setup. Anything up to neg 2.5 deg is possible on the back and up to neg 1.5 on the front IIRC. My tyres are wearing evenly despite (or with) neg 2.5 on the rears on 18's.
