camber wear?

I recently went to a shop to have rusted bolts removed and I noticed that both my rear tires are bald on the inside...I never would've guessed because the outside still measures out to around 70% tread left. Is this an alignment issue or do I need new rear cambers?

edit: the car is not lowered and the tires have been on the car for about 6k. Like most people I occasionally drive spiritedly but not enough for this kind of damage

If you are lowered then you would need a camber kit besides just an alignment. I have lowered mine an inch and a half and have an SPC rear camber kit to get it back into spec.

Get an alignment and make sure that your camber and toe are within spec.

ya with it having the stock suspension on it i would say alignment needs to be done to make sure they are within spec. cambers aren't usually need until modifications are started to the suspension
