They are totaly worn down to the belt on the inside. I didn't see it until I took off one of the front tires to have a screw taken out of the tire. It has been aligned twice before, and the previous owner said that he was not happy with the job they did. I am not either. The tires he took off of the car before he got the 17" wheels and tires show some wear in the same place.

Did the alignment shop tell you what settings were out of spec? From your comment on the seized tie-rods, it sounds like front toe-in is out of spec. What about front camber? I would think that if the wheels were heavily worn on one side, that would indicate camber is out of spec (too much camber?). Is the car lowered? If the problem is camber, and you can't get it to go into spec using the stock camber bolts, a company called "Specialty Products Company" makes a camber eccentric that may allow you to dial in the proper amount of camber.
