Wheels on driverside stick out further than on passenger side

[ncs14]

Recently got some new wheels and can not figure out why the driverside's stick out further than the passengers....any ideas?Driverside Passenger Side

[theengineguy]

when you got the wheels there may have been a front set and a wider rear set...switch the LF with the RR and see if this helps. either that or you got cradle issues

[ncs14]

all of the wheels are the same size as well as the tires.....what do you mean by cradle issues?

[adrianfromthecastle]

maybe its just me, or maybe its the pics... but you're camber doesn't look symmetrical at all to me. Passenger wheel looks to have more negative camber than the driver side.

Has the car ever been wrecked?

I would take the wheels off and check that they have the same offset.

[s13gebala]

take that s*** for an alignmnt ande tell them you need your front adjusted

[ncs14]

alignment will not do it.....had it aligned a few times by different people and they couldnt fix it....the only thing i can think of is....the camber in the LF was off more than the RF so one shop put a camber bolt in the LF to set it the same.....would an aftermarket camber bolt on one side and a stock on another cause it to do this....because it looks fugly to the point that im thinkin about buying a shell and swaping everything over.

[gabo]

do you still have the stock wheels...if so put them back on and see how it looks. at least for comparison sakes.

Sounds like your car was in an accident and the frame got a little tweaked.

toss those camber bolts out in the trash and get some camber plates. way easier to use, and work 10x better than camber bolts.

like I said, judging by your pics, your camber does NOT look symmetrical.

dont buy another shell over that. that would be ridiculous. Im with adrian on this one. it looks off. it wont take much. Either get camber plates or coilovers. Maybe and this is a shot in the dark someone lend on your fender a pushed it in a little I say this cause I actually tugged on mine a little to get them to cover my wheels.

i agree with rocko.. i'd check to make sure all the wheels have the same offset cuz if the fronts and backs had different offsets you could've put the rear wheels on one side and the front wheels on the other.. worth a try rather than swapping chassis.

GUYS!... That is not a camber issue. Look at the bottom of the tires and look at the distance between the bottom of the lip and the groves on the tires. The Entire drivers side tire appears to be projecting an EVEN 1/2" from the body. If it was camber the distance on the bottom of the drivers side would be smaller than the passenger side.

IF this is an alignment issue, the only thing it could be is the toe setting. That you can check with a friend and a tape measure.

i would suggest swapping the wheels around, check for 2 different offsets. your car doesnt look tweaked, nor does your camber look to be different on the two sides.

[ncs14]

i think ima swap the wheels around today...dont think itll do anything since they are all the same offset. a buddy of mine has an s13 coupe it does that same thing but worse than mine. i think im just going to buy me a bare shell and build it up with my car.

Before you go and do that, look over the frame for any wrinkling. There are also a ton of body dimensions in the FSM that you can measure to see if there is anything wrong.

[aznb_boy89]

let me know if you figure out why cuz i would really like to know.
