Its not out of spec. Standard alignment calls for a lot of negative camber which will cause the rears to wear on the inside. If you have directional tires, the fix is to dismount the rear tires and re-mount them on the opposite side. You can't do this if you have assymetrical tires. I just did this and it cost less than $75.

Another fix is to alter the alignment and get as much negative camber as you can in the fronts, and set the rear camber close to zero. This will take out a lot of the understeer that is designed into these cars which will make the car handle much quicker, but you won't have the cushion of understeer if you get in trouble going around corners.
