Does anyones rear tires looks tilted inwards at the top of the tire? I went to a tire shop and they told me the ailgnment is set correctly... The tires are wearing thin on the inside...

Mine are tilted in 5/16" at the lip at the bead (I measured). But there is no uneven wear.

its called camber wear. get the alignment check again but by someone else lol. and do it soon or you are going to need new tires.
Mine are tipped in as well and if you do a measurement there is some additional wear on the insde of the tire. I had them checked and was told that's the way it was designed and yes we would wear our tires at a uneven rate.
Yes, the inward cant or tilt is intentional and normal on your Crossfire. I think it's 2 or 3 degrees, but I'd have to look it up again to be sure. You'll find this handling adjustment to be more common on sports cars. Yes it can cause the tires to wear a bit more on the edge, but generally not a lot. Chalk it up to a small piece of the cost of owning a sports car!

your eyes will barely notice 2 -3 degrees. if it is as noticable as you say then there is something wrong. it is supposed to have some camber yes...it is to help the car track better but keep it subtle so as to not rip through tires.
