Default Alignment issues with 20"s GS430....help!

I have 20x10"s on the rear of my gs 430 and it is wearing BAD on the inside.. and I mean the corner... Anyone have any good recommendations on this? I took it to an alignment place and paid the $70 and I just chewed up another pair of tires ($500 down the tube). I really could use some help guys... let me know what ya got for me. Thanks in advance.

get a shop that is good at aligning lowered cars rather than just trying to put everything to factory spec.

i supposed your car is lowered. camber is not adjustable on this car, toe needs to be adjusted to compensate wear

my car was lowered a lot, i got over 30k miles on my tires with flipping

I had the same problem! Alignment guy said my toe in the rear was out. he explained to me there was still plenty of toe adjustment, but the chamber angle needed to be adjusted to dial it in correctly. Long story short I had to get a rear adjustable arm from SPC.

This link better explains what went on. Also I suggest you look for a shop that has the latest Hunter alignment tool. Lexus dealer or toyota dealers I believe have the latest. A good alignment guy makes a huge difference.
