Default Back Tires

I was walking up to my car from the back this morning and I noticed a pretty good lean in at the top of the rear tires. Is this the way they are supposed to be? Haven't had the car but a few weeks and this is the first time I noticed it

I didn't take measurements before my car is lowed but as of right now, the rear right is about 1/4 inch higher than the rear left.

I was meaning the actual tires tilted in at the top of both. I have been trying to find rear pictures of some to see if they are that way also

Yes, I should have put that in the original post. I believe it would be negative camber. Does anyone else have this?

Yes, there is very noticable negative camber in the rear. I have noticed it too but not concerned.

Thank you. I noticed after washing it and driving it up the driveway that the outside of the tire was not making contact but the inside made contact all the way to the edge.
