Wierd problem with my rear rim placement

Post by alexcoqui »

The pasenger side rear tire placement is diffrent than the rest. It sticks out about an inch further out than the rest. With the original rims and tires, it wasnt noticeable and it didnt cause problems, but now that I installed 245/40/20 it hits the fender in every bump. Ive looked under the car thinking that maybe it had been hit and they had done a poor job, but I cant find no evidence of an accident. What else, other than an accident can make a rear rim to poke out further than the other?

Have either of the rear wheel bearings been replaced?

Although, now thinking about it, if it was something that rotates it would be obvious...
