ive got a 2013 dodge challenger rt.got it brand new,never any suspension mods.i did add aftermarket wheels with the exact same backspacing and size as the originals.18's.all was good until i got to about 95,000 miles then it started eating tires mostly on the rear but the front also.rear is visibly leaning in. alignment shop says its roughly 2 degrees out on both sides on the rear.visibly looking at it i cant see anything obvious.when i say it eats tires i mean the inner edge will hit metal in 1500 miles on the rears.any help or ideas appreciated...

probably have the alignment checked - with the miles, its possible bushings have some wear and camber may be higher than spec.
The suspension has ~ 1.75* negative camber, and Chrysler calls for tire rotations every 6K...due to the amount of camber.

2 degrees...holy cow!! that's huge. Alignment done and all will be fine; cost about 75 to 95 bucks and trouble goes away
change the tires before they blow; toe out by 2 degrees, visibly i would check rear toe bar to make sure all is ok;
you should not have toe out on the rear and front as well; at least 0 on the rear or even in for couple tenth of degrees; OEM have specs for alignment all over the web
toe out in the front for road racing but this is not what the car is for so this is here irrelevant

Camber adjustments aren't possible on our cars without installing adjustable UCAs in the front and camber bushings or adjustable UCAs in the rear. There's nothing the dealer or an alignment shop can to do fix the camber unless the bushings are worn, in which case they can be replaced with factory non-adjustable units or replaced with something aftermarket that is adjustable.
I installed 1.5 degree camber bushing in the rear of my challenger, hated the idea that the factory setting was eating up tires, I spent about 75 bucks on the bushing and installed them myself and spent 70 bucks at the alignment shop to correct my toe out that the new bushings created once they are installed.
Now my camber is -.2 degrees and looks so much better from the rear, don't give a crap about cornering I want my 300 bucks a piece tires last until I say- meaning burn outs not from just driving around.

indeed re reading the post it is leaning in and then there is nothing obvious.... and whatever.... need to get back to work and find a job because blogging on my free time is not going to get me a job or may be just a wheel alignment associate degree for one car and one year lol
