Lowered the 2010 almost a year ago with Ford Racing K-Springs and no I didn't get an alignment.

I had planned on getting struts/shocks and new rims and then get the alignment, but other things came up.

Well now I just installed the new rims, 20" Bullets with BFG KDW's. 255/35/20 & 285/30/20

The old stock front tires had some goood wear on the inside of both, but the driver was alot worst. The inside was completely bald, about twice as bad as the passenger side front.

Are CC Plates a must here or will a good alignment fix it up and keep the tire wear in check?

I don't do any racing, don't need all the adjustablility of the CC for better handling. I'm pretty happy the way it is just dont want to but tires soon then I have too. Don't want to over do it and pay more than what I need. If a good alignment will work I will be there right away.

Thanks

You should always get a front end alignment done after lowering. The only parameter that can be set is toe with the OEM set-up. Lowering will increase the negative camber resulting in more inner wear on your tires even if camber fell within the max -1.5 degree spec. Those tires are expensive ... get the camber plates and have an alignment done else your new tires will suffer the same fate. Since you don't race, have the camber set to the mid point of spec ... around -0.75 degrees and your tires should last.

I know you are suppose to get an alignment after lowering just didn't this time.

I have an appointment tomorrow to get it aligned. I'll get the camber plates it they are absolutely needed.
I'm pretty sure the wear on the tires are from mostly the toe being out of spec so hopefully the alignment is the only thing need.

I agree. I wouldn't invest in camber plates right off the bat until you get the toe fixed. That's likely what's eating your tires more than the negative camber.

Yeah got the alignment today and it is now good, shop said the cc plates are not needed.
