Default Rear Wheels look slanted bcuz back is too low is it ok?

So i have my IS, and when i look at the car from the back, and look at the wheels, it looks like the wheels are slanted. Something like this. It is not at low as this of course but it is close. If you look at this IS the back wheels, It looks slanted. I drive around like that but not that low, is it ok?

sorry if i used this car as an example, but this one resembled my wheels in the back.

Camber, my friend! If you keep this ride height, your tires will wear unevenly. And don't try to track the car. But that's the price you pay for riding low.

Actually, it's not priceless. It's costing your approzimately $3.60/day to keep that look. LOL
