Default My body (chassis) is not straight!!!

After lowering my box with Spy 2" springs along with 17"x7.5" +45 offset rims with 25mm spacers in the rear ,I noticed that rear pass. side is sticking out more than the rear driver side, about 6mm. and i only rub on rear pass. side.
Is my chassis or body straight?
Thanx for your time...

I did the search, just needed an update info.

Yeah. This is something you really wouldn't notice until you start bringing the wheels out closer to the lip of the fender. This is that way it is on all xB's. There's probably a reason for it.

Peace,

I know it's common on 4wd/awd cars to offset the rears from the fronts. Not sure why though.
