Are they 7" wide? If so welcome to camber problems.

why would there be camber problems? I had the regular old IS300 wheels and they wore perfectly even. My stock rims were 16x7.5 or 16x7 but fit 225 tires. The IS300 rims I had fit 225 series tires.

Do a search. Some people were complaining. As far as I know SCs come with 8" wide rims. It's a hevy car.

i checked a few oem wheel places online. the largest oem wheel that came with the SC400/300 (even previous LS400) was 16x7. believe the first 8" width wheel that came on a Lexus was the GS400 at 17x8.

The people that had camber issues with the IS wheels had to have those camber issues before they switched to 17s or the installers did something. Maybe the increased rim size/decreased tire rubber amplified their initial bad camber?
