Default Uneven??

Just put a set of new wheels and tires on, Cobra R's, and noticed my driver side wheel sticks out further than the pasenger side, by about 1/2 inch. The car has not been wrecked and all body gaps are equal. What might cause the difference? Rotors maybe? Camber / caster?

I know a guy whos rear shifted from launching hard. I can't remember what let go or bent, but perhaps you are in the same boat.
