One wheel pokes out more.
 
Hi guys. Got a problem and it's seems common amongst most cars but was wondering if anyone had this problem on their wrx/sti hatch, so here goes.

The rear passenger side wheel sticks out slightly more than the drivers side which sits flush. Didn't notice this too much until fitting my rota grids and then the arch took some rubber off the sidewall :/ the fronts sit perfect, so does the divers side rear it's just that side. The car is straight and drives fine so it's not been wrecked. Also I have camber set up professionally on each wheel as well as 4 wheels laser alignment so it's not this. Heard a lot of answers like brake disc, hub etc. think I'm going to have to strip down each side and compare parts to see if there's an aftermarket part in there. Any help would be appreciated guys :-).

Is one of the wheels wider than the others maybe ?

I've checked that and it's not that mate. Gonna strip down both sides and compare parts. Gotta be a puzzle part that's wrong or something.

This was after a pro alignment lol

ive got the same on passenger side 8.75cm wide alloy wit 225 rubber, looks like pro geometry was used for wider (0.5cm)car
I bought arch roller will sort it next week:thumb:
looks like factory panels aren't the same wide approx. 0.5cm

more alignment of rear wishbones as above get it checked, slight turn of the bolts can mess the handling up badly thankfully theres only 4 bones lol
