Default Negtive camber in rear????

So i was looking at my tires. I have never replaced them since i have owned the car.

There is some extreamly bad tire wear on the inside of the left rear. Also there is some bad wear on the inside of the right wheel. However it is not as bad as the left.

What i am confused about is. I thought there was no adjustment in the rear end. So what causes this? I dont wanna throw a new set of tires on there untill i get it fixed.

Any possibility that the rear tires were once on the front and were rotated to the rear? Dumb question maybe, but I think it is worth asking. I have seen people have the front tires rotated to the rear, and they have no idea that they are worn from a bad front end alignment. They discover the tire wear later on when the tires are on the rear of the car.

Its a very real possibility. I think what i am going to do is put new tires on it and watch it very carefully.
