Tracking should always be checked when you make/change parts on the suspension set up.
If you don't want to wear out the inside of your tyres, then don't lower the car or get smaller wheels.

Same thing happened to mine, went and got my tracking done and the guy said it's due to having 17" alloys on when the car was designed to fit 14's, didn't take much notice though as most people on here have 17's
