2015 GSR Lancer rear end wheel alingment

[2015 GSR 2.4L red hatch]

I have just did 40.000km in my 2015 GSR Lancer. and all original only oil and filters have been changed and still original tyres, I have rotated the tyres tho, now I though well I may have to put them rear tyres on to the front and popped down to look and I was blown away them rear tyres were cutting the inside edge of the tyres away, I could not believe it.
Then I thought maybe the rear springs have sagged and added to having more neg camber and toe ing out hammering the inside tyres, It has 6cm of gap from the top of the tyre and the wheel arch, so I don't think that the springs are sagged.

Maybe I will have to get a wheel alignment ? I can see it looks a tho you can adjust the toe maybe as it looks like a offset bolt may be their.
I can't find a camber adjustment point.

Front tyres are fine, I am running 44PSI now as more meet is in the centre, I was running 38PSI at the least to 40 - 42 in the front, I should of use 44 all the time.
In the rear I use 32PSI mainly now I am running 36PSI I am of the thoughts of never running so high in the rear as this can give less traction coming into corners, but I am forced to now. until I get new tyres.

I have never had to get a wheel alignment in any car that I have owed unless it had strut shocks, then you were forced to and I have driven over harsh roads with great pot holes at high speed, that never played problems with the alignment, but when people who shove the front wheels into angle parking that's the worse thing you can do to knock the alignment out.

So what can I do I will have to change the rear shocks and up grade them at the time, or is just the way that the Lancers are and they will just do that with 40.000km up.
My Toyota 130.000km Aurion rear end tyres are always spot on.

You can have fantastic suspension and tyres and they'll still get shredded from road surfaces, temperature, alignment or even the suspension still. Too soft or hard may feel fantastic to you, but that stress is moved to the tyre. I've seen a 50%+ tyre blow out within 1500kms simply because of no alignment performed, because the fit was very near the original tyres.

40k kms is about the mid-range for lifespan for a modern car's factory tyres. If they're worn, replace them and get a wheel alignment - for the sake of $100, you'll stretch out the lifespan of the tyres up to double, and know that youre not causing undue stress

It's not that ! at all.

I am asking is this the norm for the GSR with the rear tyres.

There is a lot of neg camber on the rear wheels. too much by the looks of it to me and it toes out. so to me that does not look correct geometry, that I would think is to my way of thinking.

The 215/45 18 tyres are a high pro soft rubber so I feel I have done well mileage wise with them.

Most people who do wheel alignments are not that bright that I have come across, many start arguing with me because they do not want to do anything but standard spec mainly.
I have had to even show them how and what to do. Many have even said you can't do that to me, even an old mate who works doing such said this to me, when I bought a new VS Commodore ute on 10/5/1995, I said I wanted to put more neg camber on the front to stop the totally shocking crap understeer that they have from new, I went to about 9 shops and they all said no it can't be done, until one bothered and rang up someone and then said yes ok you are correct and we can do it, so a mate who had a VR had 1.6 neg camber on his so, I did the same and with a bit more toe in all is fine with tyre life, even better than standard that have a go at the outside too much, especially if you drive hard. the next time I went to 1.4 neg and I found that fine. and most mechanics frown at such, oh you will scrub out your tyres, BS boy is my response, the BS that I have heard over the years coming from most mechanics is just amazing, they are boring people who get into a rut of servicing boring peoples cars and when it comes to thinking beyond that, and it's like pulling teeth with them. you do not want that, yes I do, no you don't, yes I do ! f ing listen to me I know what they are on about ! and this is what I fear that I will get nothing out of a wheel alignment on my GSR, they will do nothing ! how can they reduce the camber ? I can't see any adjustment point for that, ok toe maybe ? but is it truly that type of bolt that can be done, I have seen aftermarket ones you can get for them.

So I ask the question how can I reduce neg camber on the rear on the GSR ? I know that higher springs will do that, but I don't want too have to do that,
So I ask the questions on toe control adjustment, is the standard bolt a adjusting one or do I need to go and get an aftermarket one that does adjust.
Look when it comes to wheel alignment people I have heard it all, the half arse bodge jobs is amazing. one mate with a Turbo VL had a camber adj kit on top of the tower and this alignment prick had a fit and tossed it into the bin and said it was rubbish, problem was that he did not know what he was truly doing in fact.

Sounds like you need to go to a proper shop or find one that knows better - my usual guy will do any spec i ask for, or provide the best suggestion. Probably helps that he's a regular at the racetrack so he knows what is what.

Cars have come a long way since 1986 and 1995, any workshop worth their weight will be able to remove camber in the rear, which should be via a oval bolt in the control arm. The CE rear toe is fixed from factory without adjustment, but because so little of the rest of the suspension is adjustable theres no need to adjust toe as it cant go out of spec - I would assume your GSR is the same, albeit with some further thought put into the design, and as its no longer a brand new car, most workshops should have at least come across the cars once or twice and should know how to adjust them. The car isnt a cutting edge vehicle, so its not going to have electromagnetic and airbag suspension or anything fancy, it should be bare bones basic to set.

Thanks.
I will just leave it as is then. I cant's see it being anything other than normal for a Lancer and just put new tyres on it. and up grade the rear Shocks to Gabriel Ultra Gas.

There is adjustment at least for toe in. Get your alignment checked a good street set up would be 2 mm toe in and half a degree neg both sides.
