I run 19s and have zero wear issues. Also on adjustable rear toe links, but those were done bacause of the modifications to the rest of the suspension, not because of the wheel size. Wheel size doesn’t play any role in tire wear.

Larger wheels/tires might play a role in accelerated or abnormal tire wear unless after the new larger wheels/tires are fitted the car is properly aligned. I mean if I went with larger wheels/tries I'd have my car aligned again after just to be sure the alignment was good.

Shouldn't it be the same alignment unless the wheels are blem?

Same specs as above, but done again at a shop with some more up to date equipment. I used to live in a place where 99% of my driving was a straight line. Now that I'm in Arizona and the car sees some turns the tires are doing even better .I think all you need a solid LCA bushings, and set that toe to .25 on each side on the rear.
