Rear tire wear on lowered 02 GT

I purchased the car back in April and by June I needed new rear tires. I figured maybe I had been stomping on it too much with the 3.73 posi rear so I just sucked it up and got the tires.
The new tires appeared to have no wear after a month of normal driving so I thought all was well. Today I checked the tires and you can clearly see the inner half of the tire has worn down vs no wear on the outer. I cant afford new $200 tires every 3-4 months so I need to find the cause.

when u lower a car it makes the camber negative which causes tire wear... the front u could fix with camber caster plates...the rear u cant fix if u have a solid axle but if u had the cobra irs u could adjust the camber in it because its not a solid axle

probably needs an alignment

if you have a solid axle there shouldnt be any inner tire wear. there would be a more serious problem
