The tires aren't quite to the wear bars, but they are worn enough and 'scooped out' on the inside enough that I don't want to use them.
There are 50k miles on the car since I bought the tires. They aren't on there in the winter - but I assume no tire wear in the winter because there's never any traction due to snow/ice so it wouldn't have made a difference whether they are on there or not (my winter tires age out without ever having a significant amount of tread wear). Plus the car takes no long trips in winter so most of the miles are summer miles - there are probably 35-40k actual miles on these tires.
I'm working on recovering the pictures. Even with the spacers, the rear ride height is approx 20mm below nominal (I had to do some interpolation because I have Aero suspension but 16" wheels). I don't know that 30mm spacers to get everything back to nominal would be practical.
I also have 1.2mm of shims to bring the camber just back to factory limits for Aero suspension.
