Default causes of inside rear tyre wear

i am getting excessive inside rear tyre wear on my 93 wrx to the point where the insides are saw toothng and causing loud road noise.
its become more of a problem since i fitted 17inch wheels with new 215/40/17 tyres.


is this an alignment issue or could it be becuase my rear drop links are worn?

any help please?

I run a quite aggressive rear camber set-up and my RE-070's are quite chamfered....

93 WRX, probalby the rear toe, as the stock bushings in the lateral links could be (an most likely are) WELL past their prime.

I would change the bushings in there as well for some poly ones, as an alignment would only be a bandaid.
