Back left tire flaring out

Is the back left tire suppost to flare out? I had to replace my tire because my back tires were showing wire on the inside. I had my dealership look at it and they said they relined it but it is still flared out.

hmmm... check your lower rear control arms...

look for any sign of stress or cracking. I don't want to freak you out or anything, but this was a recall on some TTs I believe. I have seen pics of a few with broken ones. It's enough to make any TT driver nervous.
