What's going on with my tire wear- rears are wearing out in the middle?

I have staggered 20's and I'm about to buy a new set of Toyo Proxes STII's for my 4.8is. Before I flip the bill, I want to make sure my new tires won't wear like my old ones.

I've read many threads about uneven tire wear, and camber settings, but most of them talk about the tires wearing out on the sides, not the middle. I bought the car a year ago and the old tires had the same type of wear in the rears. I bought some used rear ones to get me through this year, but they have worn out the same way. I had it realigned to specs by a good BMW shop before I put on the most recent replacements.

Any suggestions on what I need to do to make sure the new ones wear out evenly?
