Its a Mysterae to me?
Agree with this.
God knows how you wouldn’t notice/hear that though.

Just had another look and noticed how far the tyre hangs over the the inner alloy wall.
I might be wrong but I'm thinking 2 things:
1. Wrong alloys for the car and the offset isn't right
2. Wrong size tyre and it's too wide for the wheel.
I'm still going with the damage being caused by suspension rubbing, the wear is too uniform not to be.

That isn't a camber issue, that's a toe issue.
You'd have to be running about -50 degrees camber to get that sort of wear profile.
Everyone bangs on about camber, but the tolerances are so much tighter with toe and this sort of issue is almost always due to the toe being out.
For example if your wheel is out by 30 minutes on the camber - you probably won't really see much wear difference at all, until the tyre is almost at the end of its life.
If your wheel is out by 30 minutes on the toe, you'd be lucky to make it home!
Get a Hunter alignment check (some places offer a check FOC)
One of the reasons I tend to seriously start thinking of replacing at 3mm as sometimes it is hard to detect issues like this unless you can get the vehicle up on a lift.
My dad had similar on the inside rear tyres of his latest VW Touran, I can't remember the exact details as there was more than one issue causing it (something was rubbing as well but I can't remember what), but according to the mechanic a lot of more recent VAG and BMW cars they've cheaped out on the stock control arm bushes on the independent rear suspension or something like that causing a lot of wear on the stock setup on the inside edge of the tyres. (This is me trying to remember the conversation with my dad so might have got something backwards).
subsequently clocked this video - guess he singled out bmw as click bait -
but shows how suspension bushing can well be the cause causing erratic toe.

Poly bushes might hold it off for longer.
They're also absolutely horrible on daily drivers.
You should see marks on suspension component where the tyre has been rubbingI thought the same as you straight away from the images. A tyre that is too wide for the wheel or incorrect offset causing rubbing on a suspension component.
