You can actually alter the rear alignment by using the shims mentioned in one of the above posts. Adding shims between the front spring hanger and the mounting boss on the car will effectively push the rear wheel on that same side towards the back of the car thus altering the relative position of both rear wheels to the front wheels slightly.
