Default Confused...

Okay I just got done doing my lowering kit and everything went smoothly! Got the wheelspacers as well, measured them to make sure they were the same size, put them on and no problems there; until I lowered it. The driver side tire sticks out like 1/4" farther than the passanger side. My springs are set perfectly in place, the wheel spacers are the same size, the car rides perfect and IDK what could cause it. IDK if it was like that before the drop because when the wheels were tucked into the wheelwell you wouldn't really notice a 1/4". Anyone know what may cause this? Is it somthing that has to do with my suspension or axle? Any feedback would be great!

Got them off eBay for $56. They're really nice spacers and fit really well. Both are the same size and IDK why that one tire is set off more than the other. I don't think it has to do with the springs or spacers though...

Maybe the axle doesn't sit perfectly in the center of the car? You should find a common point on the axle and messure to the edge of the tire.

That's a good point! I'll try that one out. But is it normal for the axle to sit a little off like that or no? Because everything looks good under the car and nothing looks off... Hmmm
