Wheels deviation
That is weird, my guess would be backspacing. As mentioned before, I would try taking the front right wheel off and switching it with the back right wheel. If the fronts and backs are equal, then they most likely are different sized rims or have different backspacing. That is a beautiful car you have there!

In the front a difference like that can be cause by a bad alignment shop. The car may be aligned to the specs you want but they may have dialed out the arms way too car on the passenger side.
Does the driver side rub on the control arm? If it does then my guess is that the one on the back that is out is for the front so both fronts are out an inch. My understanding is that you can't put a 9" wide rim on the front without issues... Check the numbers on the inside of the rim, on the face that'sbolts up to the brakeand you will probably see two different setsof numbers.One set for the front and another for the back...
My guess...

I managed even to measure the distance from the chassis to the rims and is the same on the left as on the right. so i can't find any reason.
please be kind and advice me where can be the problem.
Thanks

However, for this to be the case, the rim width must not be the same, or one could not stick out. So I would suggest that the rims are in fact not the same width,
despite what may be stamped on them.
Get some wood and cut to thediameter of the rim, two piece. Put one of the outside of the rim and the other on the inside. Measure and record
the reading. Do the same on the other side.
Another check is to put swap the rims, left front with right front. I guarantee that the problem will move. Ifthe problemdoes not move, then your measurement
from the chassis to the inside of the rim is incorrect and they are not the same measurement.

Swap the front wheels and see if you still have an issue. That will absolutely determine if it is the wheels or the car.

if the problem swaps sides then the problems are wheels and/or tyres
... and great to see another european on the forums.
okay!
so i got there decided to swap the wheels. i did that but what i was desperately hoping to take place remained stoned. so my dear friends, thecause is not for sure the backspacing (which i measured, by the way, and is the same), or wheels width or tyres.
I think is getting more and more interesting, at least for you. anyway i got under the car trying to measure several distances and all seemed equal right to left.
what i noticed, though, but i am not sure about it, is that when the car was on the jack and the wheels lifted, they seemed to be ok. when i lowered it the left wheel kind of inclined itself and remained as before - OUT (although it has a vertical image), and the right one set itself correctly
At least i made you curios, i hope,
waiting for more ideas
thanks

Hello!
we have to take out also the alignment cause. i went to a shop and they took care of the aligning. they couldn't find either any possible cause. they said that wheels are the same, and they are out of the question.
I am beginning to get desperate.
What if the car was involved in a major accident and there;s nothing to do?

If you've checked everything mentioned in this thread and the shop guys find nothing wrong, the car drives fine with no shaking or alignment issues, this may be the way this car is. There is something off,maybe the frame or the fender wells are just off for some strange reason. This is a mystery to why it would be off if all the items mentioned have been checked and are ok. Have you measured the wheels off of the frame rails? Don't measure fromthe fenders. Same with the rear? Maybe it is the fenders that are off.
