they tilt in about 2 inches on both sides so the back half of the tire is 2 inches more out than the fron and it is like this on both sides pointed th same way (not like the rear is crooked)

any way to fix this or anything i should look at?
i have bmr LCA and sway bar

do you think this is something that could be fixed

What you are describing does not sound possible. The tires in the rear of our cars cannot be alligned. The axle is perfectly strait and solid. In order for a wheel to be tipped, there would have to be a bend in the axle. If there was a bend in the axle the wheel would wobble as you drove. The brakes would rub and you would be in a world of hurt.

I think you are imagining it. Can you post a picture?

You are making an assumption. The axle is NOT perfectly straight, NOR solid. The axle tubes are pressed into the center housing then spot welded into position. It is possible to bent the axle housing, but not easy. Herb Adams describes it in his chassis handling book: He has a procedure by which you can add negative camber to your rear axle by using a heating torch to warp the axle tubes. He says that a typical differential can handle about one to two degrees of misalignment in the splines before the differential carrier begins interfering with the splines.

If the wheels are canted inwards as much as you say, you will have destroyed your axles and differential carrier in short order. Try taking a 2 x 4 piece of lumber and, with the front wheels pointed straight, running it along the front wheel from sidewall to sidewall, then see where the sidewalls of the rear tire end up. Maybe what you are seeing is simply the natural taper of the fenderwell. Your car is narrower at the rear of the fenderwell than at the front of the fenderwell.

Also, Step back about 20 feet and compare visually to the front tires. Two inches of misalignment will make the car look really, really weird, and will make it nearly undriveable. The tires will be squealing as you coast down the road.
