Default Tire Ware issue.. with bulging... :(

So i had my wheel fully turned when parked today and realized something with my front left tire, it is wearing alot on the inside of the tire and is beigning to bulge a tiny bit..

Has me a bit worried, i do have a intermitent shake in my steering wheel which i guess can be attributed to this excessive wear. But it is only the front left that is doing so.

I have looked this over :

But that is for 17inch rims.. I am running 20x8.5 in the front and 20x10s in the rear and am worried an alignment shop may not know how to properly align my soarer.

Fronts are 225/35/zr20 and rears are 275/30/zr20.s

What specs should i align to? is it a toe issue?

Any help from alignment guys would be great!!!

inside tire wear is either caused by camber or toe....align to factory specs. If it's bulging out, your risking a blow out by driving it, and that would trash that 20" rim in about 2 seconds.

Is your car lowered? That can cost the chamber wear which cause the wear inside. Also toe can cause the problem too.. Best way is to get alignment.
