Outside tread wear

2002 Z28 with 245/45 17" tires (OEM is 16").
With the original 16" tires/wheels I had no outside wear.
When I put on the new wheels and tires I experienced noticeable outside tread wear.
Why did this happen? I believe the camber is set at zero.
Should I go with negative camber?

Thanks.
John

Re: Outside tread wear

Is the car stock ride height, or lowered?

Is the wear in the front only, or also in the back?

Re: Outside tread wear

The car is all stock except for the 17" wheels and tires.
The wear is only on the front tires and NOT the rear.

Thank you.
John
