You need to get the wheels tracked any of the tyre centers can track wheels.

Yup sounds like tracking to me. €40 should fix it. Possibly allow for a new tyre if its badly worn.

On most cars the rear track is not adjustable. Have your car checked for worn bushes, joints, shocks, etc.

What is the make/model?

Check your tyre pressures too; an underinflated tyre will wear the outer edges of the tyre, whilst an overinflated tyre will wear more in the centre.

That said, you'd have both edges of the tyre wearing, not just the inside, so tracking is more than likely the problem.
