Default Problems with spacers???

I have a low offset rim in the rear and later installed one ton garage rear hub spacers and found the rear passenger rims sticks out more about 1/4-1/2 inch difference. Anyone come across this problem? Ive been told that this is the way the car was engineered at Toyota and that nothing is mechanically wrong with it. I recently removed the spacers because of my concern of safety. Any got any suggestions? Thanks

I noticed the same thing with my car. I also know a few other people with the same issue. It's normal, even without the spacers the wheels sit different.

Yeah, I believe the front passenger side wheel sits in more, too. I think showpaojoe has a spacer only in his front passenger side wheel..

I'd be concerned more about the artificial one sided spacing, but I'm sure if there was a problem he'd notice it... but yeah the car's wheels (at least xA and xB) have a weird "let's shift to the right? side" sort of thing... not by much, but it is engineered in there..
