Default Inside edge of rear tires wearing quickly . . .

So I checked the brakes today (they looked fine despite an intermittent sqeak), noticed the rear tires were starting wear on the inside edge. Car is a stock 1992 SC300/5speed with 62k miles, on stock size 15" Goodyear eagles. Always babied.

Any thoughts on what could be causing this? I checked all the ball joints/control arms/rubber parts and they looked fine. I'm going to put some 18" G-sport spider wheels on it and would like to fix this, as I don't want to trash a $400 set of rear tires in 5,000 miles.

It mostly Toe, you just need to an alignment before you start replacing stuff.

That's what I was hoping. Going to take it to my mechanic next week and have him take a look.
