Default Alignment / Tire Advice

I've been running 20" Wald Streifens since I bought my '04 LS430 in 2007 and have burned though 4 tires and created a hairline crack (that was repaired) already. I use the Datasystem controller to lower it mildly (about 1" gap between tire and fender).

My car doesn't seem to be aligned properly although I've had it done twice already.

Any good shops locally work on lowered cars?

What's been your experience with 20"?

Specs:
2004 LS430
Wald Streifen Forged 8.5J 20ET38 Bridgestone Potenza RE960AS 255/35/20
Wald Streifen Forged 9.5J 20ET43 Bridgestone Potenza RE960AS 285/30/20

I'm about sick and tired and might just sell these and run the stock wheels if I can't find a solution.

I got my alignment at Scotty's alignment on Kam. He charged me about $115. Very knowledegble, competent and easy to talk to.

Not sure how your comment/question is relevant to my original thread.

FYI Scotty was the man at Island brake and alignment, then went out on his own. I recommend Scotty knowledgeable dude, he pretty much booked but well worth it....
