Default wheel alignment caution

Brand new 23 Is350, 2K miles and as I suspected the alignment came back RED while running it thru their service bay machine. Warranty alignment next week.
Can some one post the best alignment numbers? I know as close to zero as allowed by spec on front and rear. I believe 1/2 the premature tire wear on the IS is bad alignment as some guys don t have the inner wear as excessively as others. I have been talking with the service writer to see if they will honor my request for the settings. Thanks.

Will the dealer align to specs provided by the customer though? My guess is “you get what you get” with dealer alignments but don’t know for sure.

If you get the alignment sheet, I'll be curious to see what specs they go with.

So the dealer was helpful, they said they can only correct the RED under warranty but somehow they added in the rear toe and made a small adjustment. I was told Rear camber is not adjustable according to Lexus (hard fixed parts).Plus they are in spec... They believe the front toe is good now. It s better than I went in with and it was covered by warranty.
