Oddly my oem size rear tires (275) wore terribly on the inside edge. Switched to 305s and no alignment/suspension adjustments and it handles like a dream and the rears wear beautifully to where my 200 tread wear rated re-11s surpassed my 300 tread wear pss tires.
If you're lowered (probably so), going wider on tire tread size is a good thing.

more tread = more surface area contact w/ road = force of wheelspin distributed across, therefore less force/sq in. = less wear.

I've only got Tein S-Techs on my G, and that wore through the stock tire fittment every month or so...I recently went up +10 on tread front and rear and it's been beautiful ever since
