the camber probably needs changing, esp if wear is mainly on one side (prob the inside edge) edge of the tyre.

Did you say the stearing is very light? Sounds odd? You could have far too much air in the tyres cuasing them to run on the cenrte of tyre only giving you hardly any contact area?

If the car isn`t lowered, the camber will be ok, it sounds as if the tracking is a mile out! get it reset first (only cheap) and see if this makes difference. You shouldnt need to lower it to sort the problem out, lowering it may make it worse!

the camber can be out if the wheels are too wide. i just did a suspension module and the wheel witdh is as much an effect on camber as the ride height

Wider wheels are more sensitive to bad camber
if the cambers ok in the first place wider wheels shouln`t matter.
