So I bought 17" rims used from a guy on this forum, and have been running them on my car since December.

Just went out and measured the tread on the tires. Rear tires are wearing evenly despite the negative camber: 4/32nds left on both the inside and outside. However, front tires are wearing unevenly, despite looking to have 0 camber. 4/32nds inside, 7/32nds outside. Same for both front tires. I got the car aligned in December, and again in Feb. after a rather large pothole found my car.

Is this normal? And at what tread to I need to replace the tires? I have heard 2/32nds is a good number, but never was told directly.

Did you measure the tread depth when you got them? Almost seems like you are running his rears on your front now. Have you had the car aligned recently?

My car was aligned in feb. And they are staggered so they are being run correctly.

Toe.

I was under the impression you couldn't adjust toe, without changing the parts responsible for it. Not just a turn of a wrench per se.

Not so on the rear. You can adjust toe on the front.
