DRVR side wheel sticking out..what the f....?

I hope im not the only one that noticed this, but my driver side front wheel sticks out about 1 inch farther than the passenger side front. It seems that the pass side tucks under the fenderwell and the drvr side sits out a 1/4 inch from the fenderwell. Is this normal, im running 17x9's/275/40's all around. When I drive over dips in the road, the drvr tire srcubs the fender a little, nothing major just wondered if this is normal. It's lowered about 13/4 in all around as well. THX
 
are you the original owner of the car? I had a camaro with this same problem and I found out that a previous owner had been in a minor wreck and sent the sway bar about 1/2 inch over to the passenger side, this caused my tire wear to be so erratic, my camber angle on the passenger side was about 6 degrees out, can't remember if it was pos. or neg. and the driver side was 5 degrees the opposite direction kinda like this
/---/
But look at that as the lean of the tire, not the turn of the tire. And when you can see the camber angle, that's when you know it's bad

No it isn't normal, I have 275/40 on 17 x 9 Cobra R rims on all four corners and they do not stick out or rub (ever). Something is definitely wrong. :notnice:
