2001 X5 rear tire wear

I've got a 2001 X5 4.4i. The rear tires as everyone knows, wear out quickly on the inside due to the negative camber. Can this be adjusted out so the tires will wear more evenly? I've got 20x10" wheels in the back with 315's. Thanks

I have the same wheel setup as you and I experienced the same thing. Interestingly, my 18" wheel and tires (winter setup) wear evenly.

yup you can adjust it out,there are bundles of posts on the subject and by wot i can tell the rear camber by default is -01 50 with a tolerance of -00 20 or +00 20, by what I can tell if you get the camber down to -01 40 or -01 30 then the tyre wear should be more even and take the heat out of inner edges of the rear tires, if ai am wrong can anyone please correct me????

Yes. You might try changing the rear camber to -1 to -1.5.

I dont know how you can adjust the rear camber all the way to -1 degree without camber plates or something similar.
