Sounds like your camber settings are out. See if they can adjust it for you when they do the tyres although no all places can do camber adjustment.

Jed Sounds like you are Toeing Out. Can happen with larger wheels and spacers. Worth getting it checked

I had the same problem when i first fitted my wheels, i used spacers to enable me to retain the original wheel centres but the inside 1" of the tyres wore out in around 6,000 mls. Removed spacers and no such problems.
