My car is lowered by 1 inch. and the tires has an angle and it look

like-------> / \ from REAR BACK shouldn't it be stright like this?

--------> | | from rear back? what are the tings I need to do to fix this?

and 2nd thing, looking down at these tires, from top rear view my tires also

look a little tilted towards the inside on the front. also kind of like this / \.

this is also the same for the front tires as well.

and now I just put new rims on, and the tires are thinner, and the car is lowered even more, and the tires looks more in angle, I need suggestion and help.

I need to fix this before MSA so I can go to my autocross event. HELP!!!!!

I know that in general dropping a car you would need to get a camber adjustment. I don't know if it is possible all around or not but that is what is need to get your tires sitting flat. If you check with the more experienced members they might be able to tell you where and how to get the camber adjustment. Hope this helps.

If you're running your car in autoX, then the negative camber (first issue) is going to be somewhat of a good thing. You might want to leave that part alone.

As for the 2nd issue, anytime you move, lower, or otherwise adjust the suspension, it will invariably effect your toe-in. The only way to correct this is to have the front end aligned. Most shops around here are charging about $40 for a front end alignment. Takes about 45 minutes to an hour. But it saves a lot in tires.
