well i have stock si wheels which are 15in...i dropped my car 2.5 inches in the front and 1.75 in the back and cuz of it my wheels look like this / \ but not that bad and so they wear out on the insides especialy if i race and do burn out.. an they dont rub on the fenders, it's just natural wear and tear from daily driving...Do you kinda see what im saying now lol
Either that or give up on the posing and raise the car to get decent suspension travel and a less extreme alignment.

I'm wondering if you've had an alignment since the drop? Basically, with an extreme alignment like you currently have you'll burn through the insides of any tire you have, so decide on a performance level you desire and find the least expensive tires you can buy for the desired performance...then get to know your local tire deal so you can try to get a frequent buyer discount.

I'm saying I know plenty of posers that have turbo's or superchargers on their car...but I won't draw any conclusions about you...
It just sounds to me like either the car's dropped so low that the suspension can't be corrected OR the alignment is simply VERY extreme. If you're going to add more power to the equation you really want to make sure the rest of the platform is as dialed in as it can be.
The Falken Azenis should be one of the cheaper tires you can get for their given performance level. I've been VERY happy with mine on my Miata.
