It's either your camber is set up different each side, or the wheel et is different?

Are the wheels new or used?

Well it's possible the who ever sent your wheels out have sent one with a different et. Take off and measure them.

I still think its more likely to be your camber.

What wheels? Sizes and ET? Is it possible you have staggered wheels and put one on the front?

If not i would say get the suspension on and then get the camber and tracking sorted.

Wheels dare dr-b 16x8 et25 with 15mm spacers to clear the front brake clearance, from rimstyle doesn't matter what wheel I put on the n/s/f it sticks out more then the others...
If I change the suspension is this really going to help???????

Two bolts that join hub and shock/coilover together also adjust the camber.

Can easy get it wrong.

Loosen them off and push the top of wheel all the way in on both sides. Then tighten up obivsly.

I have to do this to get even tyre wear.

might even be the spacers! take the spacers off and then put the wheels on. see if one of the spacers is the wrong size.
