Default Civic allignment questions

Ok i have a 94 civic Si. Just to let you know i have only owned this car for about 4 months so don't blame me for the crappy thinking of the installation.
My civic is lowered quiet a bit in the front and the previous owner did not get it aligned after he installed the non adjustable coil overs and the inner side of the tire is worn severely.

I almost immediately had to rotate the tires that were on the front to the back because the inner belts where showing. I did that because the rear is still at stock height.


Ok that's my situation and now my question. I was wondering if i where to get it aligned would that fix the bad tire wear. Now the camber that i have is pretty negative and i really don't have the money to buy a camber kit. I cant remember where but i read that on my civic that you can just adjust the toe will help with the tire wear.

I'm going to get new tires soon and i want to know that if just by adjusting the toe alone will help the tire wear.

Any input would be much appreciated. Thanks

yes, getting an alignment to fix the toe will stop the massive inner tire wear. and if you want the negative camber to have no affect on tire wear also, then corner harder

yes, you can pinch some 195s on there but not worth it imo, just get a new set of wheels and tires

try searchtempest.com it'll allow you to search by distance.

and if you're a poor college student like me, work more hours so you'll be a tired college student with money...

If you just want to look in your state on Craigslist check out http://www.statewidelist.com a lot less ads to deal with than on search tempest.
