Default alignment specs with wider wheels and lowered suspension

I am wearing out tires on the inside edge in the rear,like most all modded lexus cars,the factory specs are all most shops have to work with,Im not droped in the rear but with the 10 inch wide wheels the stock spec of -1.37 is not going to work,the tires still visually look like they are tucking in to the top of the fenders,are there any specs that can be given to account for the wider wheels?

Why doesn't the shopt take out the camber equally on the rear wheel lets say to -1 degree keeping all else the same. That shoul keep alignment ok and potentially less wear in the rear. Just my 2 cents.

cause they are retatrds that depend on computer specs,you have to spoon feed them..There is some nuber that you would add to the camber for a 2 inch wider wheel,I just dont know what it is.
