Default Inner tire wear

I have a 2010 Lexus gs 350 with 90,000 miles i am running 20x9 wheels up front & 20x10.5 in the rear staggered wheels.
The vehicle is not lowered but at almost 20,000 my inner tires on the front & rear are flat worn with plenty of meat on the out side.
I work at Toyota & had my car aligned 4 times since i had the wheels installed almost 20,000 miles ago
What can i do to fix the issue.
Thanks

Theres no adjusting front and rear camber on the GS without having aftermarket arms. Usually Toe is the real culprit. I have FIGS rear camber arms and rear toe arms, as well as a FIGS front lower control arm bracket which has helped correct my premature tire wear. Try SHOPFIGS.com

awd or rwd? Have you inspected your bushings to see if theres any play in them. Does the car drift or drag when you drive?

My 2007 GS350 RWD got the same problem, with the rear tires went bald in the middle of the tire, while outer part of the tire still got a lot of thread. The car is pulling to the left or right when the road surface is uneven, also occurred when applying the brakes. What could be the issue? Thanks.

Sounds like you simply had your tire pressures too high.
