Yep, need more info...
Seems to me either you bought big 20" RTR's and decided to stretch the existing tires which could lead to excessive tread wear if the camber is not adjusted.
Or you lowered your ride and never adjusted the camber.
Or you just keep hitting potholes and somehow screwed up the camber on both sides.
But whatever the case, sounds like your camber is off.

My rims are stock bright aluminum 19's with the pzero nero tires and no issues. I think they are 19x8's with 245's
You can adjust your camber without the camber plates. I had to have my camber re-adjusted when I lowered my ride and did it manually, no plates. So far I've got even tread wear. What tires are you running?
Camber. Had the exact same problem (different tires and rims, and I lowered it). Inside tire wear with very little outside wear indicated camber. If it's not too bad, you can do it yourself. If it's a little worse a set of Eibach Camber Bolts from AM will fix it no problem!
DRock is correct, this is not a camber issue since the car is not lowered. This is a TOE issue, go have the TOE adjusted and your problem will be corrected.
camber, toe, get it on a machine and you know what numbers are off, definetely needs alignment checked.
not sure about the 2010+ but on 05-09 camber was not really meant to be adjustable, guess some genious saved ford 20 bucks per car with that?!
there are ford and aftermarket "off center" camber bolts to do this, many (if not all) will be less diameter than orig bolts and therefore may not be the best solution, better w plates.
but again, have it measured, aligned, may just be toe, maybe you hit some rough roads?
