Exclamation 99 Civic SI Tire Problem

The car originally came with 14" rims and during the summer months i put on 17" rims. I noticed when i put the 17's on that the tires were not fully even on the ground and this is including the front and rear tires. Both front and back tires are being worn out in the inside of the tire due to the full tire not on the ground. so pretty much its like \ / when you look at the tires.

If anyone has any ideas on what i could do to fix that problem please help me out or show me in the direction of a person who could.

get an adjustable camber kit and you say \ / that would wear out the outer side of tires. now if its the inner side of the tire check inside of your fender wells to find wear tires are rubbing from when you turn sharp. also what tire size are you runing.

If the tires are like this \---/ and the inside of the tires are wearing funny then camber can't be the problem. It's probably your toe. I would look into getting an alignment.
