Are any of you guys experiencing any form of premature wear on the tires as result of lowering or putting spacers on? I ask because I suffered pretty bad wear on my inner edges on my C6 which was lowered on MTM springs and was running 10mm spacers.

If you lower it without adjusting camber you will wear the inner edge. How much depends on how far you lower it. I can't see spacers affecting this though

From my experience and from what ive read the C7 have some extra wear on the inner thread of the tire due to the camber from stock. (Better grip in corners etc)
I lowered mine. But i didnt care about adjusting the camber.... The car is eating tires like butter anyways...

Spacers can't affect camber. They do change scrub radius and your roll centre.
