Welcome!
Could be bent axle tubes or bent axle-shafts. If the tire wear is limited to the inside tread, and the camber does not change with rotation of the wheel, then I'd lean towards axle tubes. Check it with a straight-edge. Sometimes they can be straightened and reinforced; other times the axle assembly has to be replaced.

NASCAR does it all the time to change the rear camber. However, a stock car should not be bent. If the wheels where slammed against a curb at some point I would have thought there would be positive camber and the outside of the tires would be worn out.
