Rear tires/wheels leaning in?

I tried a search and could not find anything. Both of my rear wheels are leaning in at the top, causing the tires to wear on the inside. Common problem on these? Mines a 2000 2.8 Quattro.

Not a problem, you just need a proper alignment where they adjust the toe as well as lets just call it camper (our cars don't have it) Most alignments only do the toe so find someone who can do both, good luck.

It's actually camber. But that's OK cause I like the color on your car.

Just curious, how much are they leaning in (negative camber)? If I turned my camber adjustment all the way, I think I'd have to look awfully closely to see it with the naked eye.
