What could cause this?

[rcombs18]

It may just be my mind or something but to me it looks like my driver's side rear wheel sits out further than my passenger? The wheels are 18x9.5 with a +42 offset so I run a 1.25 inch spacer to get them to sit decently flush otherwise they aren't out much farther than the stock wheels. Here are some pics I took real quick this morning let me know if you guys have any ideas

Sorry about the finger lol

My car has the same issue... it's probably just the manner in which the cars were made. From the factory with teh wheels tucked way under the fender it's probably not noticeable, but once you add spacers or deep dish wheels it's more obvious

Just as a precaution I would jack the rear up and check your torque boxes (your control arm mounting points) to see if any of them are cracked or deformed in any way.

However I can tell you that through about 2 or 3 hours totaled over the years on the phone with Maximum Motorsports I have learned that these cars have very wide manufacturing tolerances. MM has told me that it is not un-commen for the cars front and rear wheel center points to be off by 1 inch from left rear to right front and right rear to left front. You can also measure your ride hieght left and right and find it off by as much as 1/2in. Honestly I wouldnt worry about it unless you find some damage.

ya when i did the ride height on mine it was off from about 1/8'-1/4" on the different corners.

Exact opposite for my car... sits to the right about that much. It pisses me off, but I try to pay it no attention anymore.
