Default 20" Tire size on AWD & Camber Adjustment?

I'm looking at getting some 20" Velgen VMB5 wheels and the owner/sales person has had 2 GS-F's and claims the camber issue I have will be mostly corrected with the bigger/taller wheel tire setup?

Has anyone else experienced this? I'm not sure if his is AWD or RWD, have kept asking, lol

Is 275/30/20 & 285/30/20 recommended (front/back), that's what he was suggesting.

My car is a 2013 GS350 F

275 in the front, no way buddy, u will be rubbing left and right, the correct size is 245/35/20 front and 275/30/20 rears, even if u drop it u wont rub, with 285 u will rub and u gonna do some shaving, trust me.

I'm running 20's with the Tanabe springs. The lowering will NOT correct your camber. Actually quite the opposite. Once you go lower than stock there is no correcting the camber better than -1.5 degrees in the rear. The fronts are fine. You will need a rear camber kit to correct this if you don't like the camber. I ran through rear tires in about 7 months.

I'm running a 275/30/20 on the rear

i have an AWD .. go with 245 30 20.. But if you have an air suspension, your going to have to get a camber kit.. I just burned through my rear tires before i hit 10000 miles with them.,
