    okay i lowered my civic and i mean i dropped it to the ground and the rims i had on there were 17 inch rims the tire size was 205/40/r17 and the inside of the tired was geeting ate away like it was eating it like at a 90 degree angle on the inside of the tire and i was wondering if that was because the tire was to wide for the lowness

    The road is touching it. the inside of the tire is the only thing its riding on. so it will eat up some tires quick. get a camber kit and go straight to an alignment shop to correct the problem. but now you need tires too

    If your camber is out that bad then the toe is also out which proably has your tires pointing out on both sides this will definitely chew up some tires, so yes like everyone else said you need an alignment.
