Default Can a rear wheel get way out of align and if

so, what would be the cause ?

REAR right looks at least 5-10 degrees out, or actually ..... points inward

Is there some adjustment that can be made ?

What would cause this ?

previous owner mentioned some thing about alignment but didn't specify, car has run well till I bought new tires a month back, since then it has not been comfortable ...

Noticed that too when i had 20mm spacers,it has to be some kind of sub frame bushings i think or something that attaches to shell and carries the wheels and suspension.

something is likely bent, control arm/knuckle... something if it's that far out.. take it to a shop that does alignments and have them take a look.
