Question Rear toe in problems?

I've seen some threads about front wheel toe-in and alignment problems, but not any about rear tire problems.

Here's my situation:
When i stand behind the car and look at the tires, it looks like the top of the tire is about an inch closer to the car than the bottom. Same thing on both sides,

Anyone else's wheels look like this? I'm guessing it's not supposed to.

You guessed wrong. That's called negative camber, it's built into the Z on purpose. It improves handling and (I think) also contributes to understeer.
