if your lowered, u will need a camber kit. If your at stock height then its tire feathering.

get your alignment checked or rechecked

or just get your tires flipped, not rotated, flipped

btw...nice pic of your ride. Do you have any other pics at different angles? Do you have a front lip or even thought about doing aftermarket bodykit, paint the front grill black, shave the emblems off??? Just to name a few things to do but each his own tastes.

What are your offsets? You state in the original post 20x10.5 but that's the wheel dimension. It looks like a very aggressive offset in the back more suited for a wide body set up. That aside, your wear appears to be a result of a toe problem rather than camber as it doesn't appear that you're lowered. What are your alignment specs? Those numbers will help determine what the problem is. Nice wheels btw!

^sorry was Sin3 I think. Look at this thread. Some extreme camber without wide body. Hopefully one of them will be able to help with your wear. You need to get your alignment numbers first though.

Cartoon Car....?

I don't know who sold you wheels with those offsets but they should be shot!
You'll never have normal tire wear with those wheels, not even close. My Son
had a Nissan truck back in the 80s with offsets like that, truck was a four
wheeled cartoon!

Carbon, I was talking with another member about your set up and he brought up a good point. Given that the wheels are 20" with such an aggressive offset, camber may be an issue even though you're not lowered. Once you get your alignment specs, it will be easier for members to offer advice.
