Default Front tire inner wear

The front tires of my s2000 seem to have excessive wear on the inner side.Is this normal or i do I need to adjust the steering rack. Are there any figures on specific wheel and steering alignment?

its a performance car with a semi-performance alignment from the factory. the inner tire wear is from camber: the way that the tires are tilted towards the insides. you'll notice that its a little more drastic, by a fraction, in the rear as well.

there's nothing you can really do to prevent it and taking out that camber that is in there can really have dangerous effects on the handling of this car. but most likely, you'll continue to see this kind of wear if you do a lot of highway miles or drive on roads that don't get too twisty and exercise the rest of the tread. =)
