check the alignment. Ihad a 95 gt that did this on some 17x9's, after the alignment however i found out my front struts were shot cause it started all over again. do the alignment and check the tires again in a month or so, if its still doing it turn to your front struts and find someone who can check them for you.
Good luck

Tire wear: camber adjustment? I had similar outside wear issues with my last set of tires, especially in the front. Will a degree of negative camber in front help this? Seems like it should. I'll also pay close attention to air pressure in my new tires.
