ok, so i mostly just lurk on this thread cause i can usually find all i need by searching but....no luck this time. Anyway, i picked up a set of sportmax 962's(i know...i know their spormax, but thats all i can afford on my college budget) they are 17x9 +35 all around with kuhmo 235/45/17...i put on some H&R 15mm spacers on front to clear the KYB agx struts. Also i have just installed brand new es tension bushings, oem tie rods and godspeed swaybars. my problem is, my front driver side rim/tire sticks out way more then the passenger side, about 10mm, i was just wondering what this could be. by the way i have not yet gotten an alignment because i am waiting on my es flca bushing to come in first....could this be the problem? What else could it be? Thanx in advance for the help...sorry for the long post...dont flame to bad lol..o yea and the car is a 92 if that matters

For reference, drivers side

Is the frame straight? That would be the first place I would look.

yeah, our cars are old. most have been hit and beaten and all kinds of shit.

my first s13 was hit in like 1996 or some shit (when i was still like 9yrs old) and my chassis was twisted for life.

i thought it was the junk stock suspenesion at first, then i got coilovers and aligned it and everything else, and no matter what, it just sat... funky.

never really looked right. you really couldn't tell by looking under it. everything looked fine, but the car was just tweaked.

Alignment, damage, or incorrect parts. I pulled an LCA off an S14 parts car I had and found it was an S13 LCA, whoever had the car before had it replaced with the wrong part.
