Tire problem

I have hayame v2 full coilover system and 17 inch rims. I just got them last year and the tires are almost bald. Actually its the outer part of the tire because i think it rubs too much. What do you guys think is the problem, help me out?

I was thinkin of puting my stock suspension back but w/ eibach pro-kit springs. Would i need aftermarket shocks?

Did you get a camber kit? did you get an alignment? When you say rubs you think it rubs the fender? What size tires do you have? Too many variables to answer yet. For the Eibach you dont NEED aftermarket shocks, but you will eventually, might as well do it now.

ive gotten an alignment. they are 17's. it probably rubbing the fenders. I'm having trouble raising my hayame v2 suspension. If there is oil around the suspesion, does it mean it's blown?

having oil around the shock usually means its blown, but i'm no expert on it. i also have the V2s and live in chicago!!! i dont have 17s but i have no rubbing issues other than my car might be a tad bit too low. they hayames can be difficult to adjust because the spanner wrenches suck amongst other things, but if you use a hammer and a screw driver and lightly tap the lock nuts in the right direction (to loosen) it'll work. trust me, i know...
