Default Inner tire wear

I am having the front inner tire wear problem notorious just like the IS. Did anyone have this issue before and how did you resolve it. What camber and toe specs should I have? Here is a picture of my specs

They changed your toe-in to be more straight-ahead so that should help your edge wear issue. Also, are you running a square tire/wheel setup? If you are, you need to make sure they are rotated every oil change.

Personally, I believe your rear camber is too great but that my personal preference. There is no adjustment for that from the factory. I had SPC arms installed to fix it on mine.

This may be a stupid question but can awd model go to any alignment shop or does it have to be awd specific?

AWDs can go to any alignment shop.

It would be an old, antiquated shop that could not do a 4-wheel alignment since most non-truck-based vehicles are now fully independent suspension. The difference between the RWD GS 350 and the AWD has little to do with the alignment.

You need to research "fully independent suspension"

No comprendo, amigo. There are no straight axles in the Lexus GS line. My 1970 Buick GS has a live axle but not my Lexus GS.
