how old are your tires?
and after time your car will un-align itself. it happened to me with my fronts when i was at stock height.

The 1IS have a stock setting to have a little negative camber. Go to a good alignment shop and have them zero out the camber a little and toe it in a little more as well. That should fix your alignment issues.

I have slight inner wear too and will be hopefully aligning and flipping them next month pending my finances.

yea, that is stock camber. it also helps increases our turn radius in the front, if you want to save tread you should try to avoid making sharp turns and u-turns.
