Ya Pro, like Jangy says, right rear is the primary driven wheel. A Limited slip differential will help gain more traction by driving both rear wheels in a condition of uneven traction.
The inner tire wear is caused by the squat in the rear of the car under acceleration. As the car accelerates the weight transfers to the rear compressing the suspension and causing the rear camber to go positive (top of tire goes inward and bottom of tire goes outward this yields a high pressure contact patch on the tread at the inside half of the rear tire.
