enjoiles

So basically, my driver's side wheels are poking out more than my passenger side. As a result, I am rubbing more so on the driver's side rear, than the passenger side (with spacers). Any ideas of what could be wrong? It's been like this for a while, but it never really bothered me until now.

Wheel specs:

F: 18x9.5 +35 (no spacers) w/215/35
R: 18x9.5 +15 (20mm spacers) w/ 215/35

Here are pics of the front wheels (w/ NO spacers, same offset on driver and passenger side).

Maybe u have the +15 and +35 mixed up from the rear and front or they gave u 3 rims with
+15

Nope, not mixed up, and all the wheels are the same. I checked even before I put them on

maybe more camber on the passenger side then the driver side

enjoiles

Nope, I had an alignment done two weeks ago.. Both driver and passenger side rear wheels are at -3.5, while my front wheels are both at .02 or something like that, but they are both the same.

Has the car been in any accidents?

Ugh, I forgot to take that into account. But yes, the car has been in plenty of accidents. Could that be the case of why it's off center?

I would think that must be the cause. I have issues with the downpipe of my Greddy kit not meeting the s-pipe correctly, and a mechanic specualted it could have been from a front end accident I was in. From what I remember, he basicly said that it's possible for a damaged frame/substructure to be fixed so that he car drives straight, but basicly things may be shifted. I know that's not a really good explanation, but that was the jist I can remember getting from the conversation.

What type of accidents have you been in? Maybe you can ask the shops that did the repairs (if there are not too many)?

Otherwise, If you can't notice any difference by looking at the car (i.e. fender widths look the same), maybe just buy a larger spacer for the passeneger side to get it to match the driver side.

Nothing major, but there is one that does come to mind. Some lady hit my rear driver side while my car was parked, and that hit did mess up the frame quite a bit, according to the shop that fixed it.

i have the exact same specs as you

F: 18x9.5 +35 (no spacers) w/215/35
R: 18x9.5 +15 (20mm spacers) w/ 215/35

my fronts have no camber...yet....so they are both equal. but my rears are at max camber on stock arms. (at least i think i maxxed them out). but my driver side sits more flush with the fender than the passenger side. so my passesnger side is almost tucking.

enjoiles

Hah nice. I assume you have no issues with rubbing? Because I poke out a lot more on my driver side, all my rubbing seems to be on my driver side rear wheel.
