Can anyone help me identify the potential problem as to why my tire to fender gap ration is different on all sides. I will mention that this was backed into on the front clip of the driver side, but i cant remember noticing the gaps being diffrent on all sides, has anyone dealt with this issue before?

It seems like thread topics come in groups around here. :D

That car needs to be put onto a frame straightener and checked end-to-end to ensure that it is not bent and/or twisted. Some dealerships, collision repair centers, and the like should have one of these things. I would call around and get an appointment.

Do you have subframe connectors installed?

Cannot stress enough how much these cars can move around when they get into a fender bender. I had a local body shop check mine before the subframes got welded in. Too many people just weld them in and then you lock the poor geometry in. Only way to fix it is cut them out, put it on a frame machine, and weld a new set in.
 
Could be anything really.

Coil springs are not oriented properly. Rear control arms were torqued at uneven ride heights. Doesn't take much to tweak and twist these cars with a love tap. etc etc.
 
Front LCA’s torqued at uneven heights as well, broken coil spring, worn out bushings on all the control arms (front and back), tweaked sway bars, etc.

Lots to check man.
