No, they didn't need to put one back. I am surprised that they did that without asking or trying to sell you aftermarket CC plates.
Well I told them i was getting some new ones, but then they went on to tell me how the drivers side was perfcet and teh passenger side was almost perfect.JJ95GTID said:

Good enough then. If you don't ever plan to change the cc settings (like for auto x) then you're good to go.
My inside of my tires is wearing. Its far from good. They told me it was perfect and Now my tires are ****ed.JJ95GTID said:
I guess I need to get some CC plates now.

Misunderstood you. I thought you got the alignment because your tires were wearing down on the inside. Not after the alignment. Either that shop screwed you over or something else is wrong with the front end

post your specs from the sheet they gave you.
i noticed you have offset wheels/tires. because of that you will be unable to rotate them causing irregular wear. i see it daily, that is the main reason i will never run offset wheels/tires on a car that sees regular street driving. the align may be in the green, but you will still wear tires.

What sheet?bimmertech said:
And the tires are the same size on the front. I was looking at thema nd I can actually see them leaning in. Running bigger tires in the back wouldnt cause mt front tires to wear odd.
Are you lowered?mustangman9812 said:

What he's saying is, you can't rotate front/rear.
As far as the sheet, when the mechanic does an alignment, the alignment machine prints off the specs on the alignment, and they're supposed to give it to you (or atleast show it to you)

No I dont see cords. Im gonna go talk to them and see why they told me it was fine when it wasnt. And Im gonna have to get some CC plates.ProKiller said:

i'd be careful how you approach this. the alignment performed may very well be within specs, but your tire wear you are experiencing will still be present because you are not able to rotate them.
most cars i see that run diff size tires front to back have to replace all 4 tires about every 15k miles or so.
still you should get some cc plates--i think stock springed people should have cc plates.
I probably have about 5000 miles on them so far.bimmertech said:
Different size tires would not make them wear bad. It would only make you unable to rotate them makeing the bad wear that was gonna happen anyway show more. But after 5000 miles it should NOT be this bad.

get some maximum motorsport cc plates...in the intructions there is a section with alignment specs and they give specs for lowered cars like 1" and 2" drop...just take those specs to the place where you get the alignment, and they will give you a custom alignment
here are my specs from the last alignment i did on 10-14-06(i even print out my sheets so i can see what settings work and don't). i will add a little more camber in a month:
front left is -1.02 cam, 5.36 cas, 0 toe
front right is -1.0 cam, 5.29 cas, 0 toe
i have coil-overs that are set to about a 1.7" drop over stock, cc plates.
