There are kits however that will eliviate this issue, such as offset bolts, offset bushes and adjustable arms.
From experience you can reduce the negative camber a small amount, by losening the one arm bolts then use a ratchet strap to pull the bottom of the wheel inwards and the top outward and re-tighten.
For my CLK I have copied what the set up is on the front of the CLK by elongating the holes where the one main bolt pivots. This moves the rears in at the bottom by about 4mm enough to reduce the wear.

THERE IS ONLY FRONT AND REAR TOE ADJUSTMENT OEM !
FOR THE FRONT (ONLY) YOU CAN FIT INACCURATE ONE ONLY POSITION OFFSET BOLTS. BUT THESE PROVIDE ONLY .3 OF ONE DEGREE (3mm/ 1/8).
We saw the need therefore to design, invent precisely adjustable Front Camber and Caster and Rear Camber (with extra Toe) replacement bushings.
To resolve once and for all premature, costly inner edge tire wear, steering pull, the result of curb knock damage, altering height, load carrying or fitting wide profile tires/wheels.
No more ongoing visits to dealers or alignment shops or constantly changing tire brands. The K-MAC patented design is single wrench, ongoing adjustment capability on car accurately (under load) direct on alignment rack offering 3 times the adjustment range of the one position offset bolts.
Added bonus is these K-MAC bushes also replace the (4) highest wearing front suspension bushings. K-MAC have twice the load bearing area and eliminate the OEM air voided oil filled bushes, yet retain the 2 axis movement. Result is improved brake and steering response.
For the rear similar precisely adjustable Camber bushings and extra Toe adjustment bushes to compensate for the new Camber facility.
