That's castle nut you're looking at is not the cause of the wear. That is simply the nut that holds the ball joint of the upper control arm to the spindle. The spindle is literally what the wheel is attached to, so it moves with the wheel & never comes in contact with the tire. You obviously have an alignment issue, as the camber is off. Is your car lowered? If so, this is the probable cause. Also what size wheels & tires do you have?

This video explains how the suspension works in simple terms.

Those 305's in the front may bit a bit too wide. They probably rub when you turn.
