Default DerKimbo? Did you have excessive (inner edge) front tire wear when...

you switched to the 20" W12 wheels? I'm not sure if my car's out of alignment, or if the upper A (?) arm is rubbing against it.

Default Ed, you are running 20s? You would probably hear or feel it

if your tires are rubbing against the upper-A but I doubt thats happening. How many miles and what is typical of the road surfaces you travel?

For sure its alignment. Are you lowered?

Default Hey guys, thanks for your response...

I didn't notice the wear when I took the wheels off, but now that the snow's a bit less frequent I'm switching the wheels. I think I have about 12-18k mi on the 20's, very little on the 19" snows. No odd wear on the snows. I don't really think it's rubbing on the A-arm, but it is close. I have two new tires, and an appointment at the dealer (Mohegan Lake Motors) next week.
