Something wrong with my tires...?

I just noticed something and want to know if that's the way it is supposed to be. I have a G35 6MT, and I just noticed that the back tires, when looking at them straight on from the back of the car, don't look completely vertical. They don't look straight up and down, they actually look tilted inward a bit. Is that normal?

Or could that have happened when I curbed my right real wheel?

its normal for them to be just a bit off. my sedan is like that. i remember reading something about its better for the cars performance but you need to switch your tires more often. if i find it i'll post it. its in my closet though, LOL

-- Positive camber...(about 1 degree)....normal for our G's. Great for handling.

Yea, I noticed the same thing, even on my previous '01 Maxima. The rear wheels go upward-inward. I'm sure it improves handling, and I haven't noticed any unusual tire wear, so I guess it's ok.
