Default Caster bushing anyone?

Lowered my car had an issue with the front driver side wheel being too close to the rear fender itself not the liner. Passenger side is fine. Alignment shop said it’s set straight from Lexus and can’t be adjusted and to contact them. Called Lexus they said they sell the bushing that changes it and it’s a 0 offset or 20 offset. They can’t explain whether one or the other will pull the wheel forward. So I’m in need of some help if anyone knows what comes Factory since they couldn't tell me that either. And which I should use to try and change the caster. Just for reference according to the alignment sheet driver side is is 6.8 degree and passenger is at 7.6 degree. Thanks In advance.

Sounds like your caster setting is off. You may need to change your caster arm #2 or the bushings. Did not know Lexus sold the caster bushings separately.
ROCA and Figs sell #2 caster arms bushings. Figs has two sets of Superpro bushings the standard one and the other to adjust the caster for multiple angles.
I recommend changing the #2 caster arm bushings.

I’m not sure if I’m missing it but I’ve searched, all I see is for the older Gs models.
