As per title, my driver's side front wheel is sitting noticeably further in than the offside front wheel. I always park my car facing down the road so the passenger side is next to the kerb, and when I walk up to it from that side I can see from afar that the front wheel is very close to flush with the arch. Walking up to it from the other side (in the road), I can see the driver's side front wheel is further into the arch. I've noticed the same thing when the car is parked on a flat surface too, e.g. no road camber. I used a straight edge that fits inside my front arches and placed it up against the tyre sidewalls (up the centre of both alloys obvs) and measured from the inside edge to the outside of the arches. The driver's side front wheel is sitting in by 4mm! The car is lowered on Eibach Pro-Kit springs and is using H&R 10mm spacers. I cleaned both hubs lots before mounting the spacers. The car has never sustained any front end damage or potentially chassis twisting damage etc.
I couldn't take a pic while holding the tape measure & straight edge together but as you can see from the pictures, the driver's side wheel (1st pic), the top inside edge of the straight edge is considerably further in the arch, whereas the passenger side front wheel (2nd pic) is basically flush with the arch. The face of both alloys is pretty much the same distance from the inside edge of the straight edge, so I don't think the one sitting in further could be toeing in. AFAIK my car doesn't even have adjustable toe settings on the suspension.
Any idea what this could be? Uneven tyre wear maybe? A cracked spring? Tracking is off? I haven't really had time to get the wheels off to look further. Now I can't remember the offset of these alloys, but I'm aware there are two versions of them each with different offsets, but IIRC the offsets of the 2 variants are considerably different, more than a 4mm difference anyway. I'm sure last time I washed the insides of them I looked and all 4 were the same offsets anyway. Thanks.
