02 Turbo camber adjusted to the max

I have H & R springs on the car and put a set of Nitto's on my car & the rears only lasted about 5k miles before the inside wore out on both sides. Is there anything that I can do to make the new set last longer? I understand with springs they will wear out on the inside more but come on only 5k miles?

The title of your post says "Camber adjusted to the max" Could you post your alignment data? If you really do have camber maxed out, that will cause inside edge wear. I also found it really important to keep tire pressures up at 44 psi.

Try to get before and after numbers. I have mine set to GT2 specs for the street. I may not recall correctly, but I believe that it is something like this:

Front: -0.9 deg camber total toe +1/16" (toed out)
Rear: -1 deg camber total toe -1/16" (toed in)

Your alignment shop should have the stock specs in their database. Stock camber for the 996TT is 0 deg camber in front.

Jon, seems like you dialed it back since the last time I saw it. What gives?

Thank you for posting the measurements, but would they still apply for 19" HRE wheels & 315/25/19 tires?

Your tire wear might be resulted from too much rear toe in/out.

Agree- combine toe with camber and it is lethal to the inner edges. Keep you toe to the minimum for long tire life (I am assuming this is not a track alignment)

That was my street alignment. You'll see plenty of camber next week at the track.

I have a noisy wheel bearing in the rear, having those replaced tomorrow. Always something...
