Heyyy. I got new tires mounted and got everything balanced on the new Rotas, and when I was washing the car today and wiring up the fogs, I noticed something...
The front wheel on the driver side sits flush with the fender, and the front wheel on the passenger side is a little "sucked in".
I would say there is about an inch difference.
Any ideas?

First things first make sure the wheels are the same offset and that they didnt give you a wrong offset one.

i had that problem once and it turned out to be a bent lower control arm, $300 later it was fixed.....

your toe could be off a little. you got camber bolts on?
is the car pulling/drifting in one direction??
I don't normally drive fast, but when I do its on a curvy section of this island
Firstly why is there a baby?

It's my buddy's kid. He works at best buy wiring up stereos and went to college for it and stuff, and he told me hed help me out wiring up the fogs. His wife is at work, so he brought Shyla (the baby) over.
NOW HALP ME.
Haha, I'm going to Les Schwab after school to see if they can see what's up...

i think i have this issue too but my offsets fine
"she can polish my strut bar anytime As long as her blow-off valve's in good order"
It's not the toe or an alignment issue because the whole wheel is sucked in as opposed to just one side of it. I'd say it's a lower control arm or some other suspension component that got knocked silly during lowering spring swappage

Eh. Brought it to the bodyshop. Same thing that happened to AJ. $300 to fix. I'm just going to get a spacer I think...

STEP 1: Remove baby (or give it a wrench)
STEP 2: Buy a Heating gun
STEP 3: Heat and hold
STEP 4: Repeat.
STEP 5: fill remainder in with bodyfiller/fiberglass (resin&mcep only)
STEP 6: sand/primer/paint
STEP 7: Replace baby (or remove wrench)
Giving baby's wrenches is a good idea no matter what anyone says. it's SOCKETS that you need to look out for. baby's will swallow that 4MM real quick...
Oh and Philips head screwdrivers are not something you want them learning how to use yet..... My daughter is two, and recently removed my license plate... i haven't found it yet either. I have video for any disbelievers.

Well the camber is fine, the tires wear evenly, it's just the look of it..

Okay, you have a bent lower control arm? This isn't something you just fix with a spacer.
Why has nobody thought that Tech-Nics has the RIGHT thought that maybe he has 2 diff. finders? The gt has wider fenders then the st, sooooooo you might have an st fender. Has it ever been replaced?

Uhh.. When they put the car up you can clearly see that it wasn't even from the bottom. Yes, they were replaced, but that isn't the problem.
