Default Looking for help on rear tire wear

I have a c6 that I put z06 wheels and tires on. I also have the z06 breaks, z06 front and rear swa bars and belstine shocks. The front tires seem to wear evenly. the rear tires are both wearing bad on the outside treads of the tires. The insides seem to have plenty of tread but outsides are smooth. The tires are the goodyear f1 supercar 325?30 zr19's. I keep the tires at 32 lbs of pressure. is there camber on the rears? Is that the issue?
Thanks for any help

You need to get your car aligned. To answer your question specifically, yes, there are both camber and toe adjustments for the rear wheels.

I've found the factory alignment to be all over the map when the cars are delivered.

HTH, and have a good one,

Yep, most likely incorrect factory alignment and not enough negative camber and or the the car is toed in.
