after lowering corsas at the front, you get negative camber, you can sort this out by getting eccentric topmounts, or camber adjustment bolts

But generally with only lowering 40mm it shouldnt knock the camber out that much that tyre wear is visible.

My mate lowered his 6n2 polo 100mm and you could see the wear after 2 weeks.

defo get your tracking done first of all as charlton said, check track rod ends for play, bushes etc. with lowering there will be camber,so some inside wear is bound to occur
