Most likely too much toe out on the rear. Although camber will wear out the insides, it wont wear it down as fast as toe will.

depends on how wear patterns look.

if it's smooth - most likely camberif it's feathered - most likely toe

If the tires wear looks like it's feathering, ur rear tire is toe-out, if it's smooth inner wear pattern, mostlikely u got too much negative camber.
