I've lowered lots of cars in the past and have never came across this as a lowering trait ... unless you've fitted the wrong wheel to the passenger rear lol
Could it be a ******ed wheel bearing on the rear passenger side?
yeah ive lowered many cars and haven't seen this problem. i was thinking the lower control arms may have an adjustment to pull it back in. ill have pictures after i get on the alignment lift today.
wheels are all the same size it happened to the other set i had on as well along with stock. this issue came about when i first lowered the car.
if it's not the above two, I have heard of this problem before from other cars and was a sign of significant frame damage from a prior accident.
This or you got a wrong wheel? I had a customer that I came across this with. They had a 10in wheel on one side and a 12in on the other side. Some wheel shop did it.

yeah i thought it might have frame damage so when i was at the alignment rack i inspected the frame and its all original parts, nothing has been replaced, and there is no frame damage what so ever.

wheels are all the correct size 19x9.5 +22. i also measure this when they put my other tires on just in case.
here are the pics i took after the alignment. you can see the right side poking a few mm out and im currently at -2 deg camber. rear fenders have not been pulled, only shaved. i checked to see if there were any waves in the paint on the fender where the previous ownder couldve been rubbing and the fender pulling itself out but nope. everything looks just fine.
and its not the angle of the pics i took but you can definitely see it when you run it with the top of the fender.
I think it's the left rear you should check out. The right rear seems ok for that offset. I run 19x10.5 +22 in the back. Front runs 19x9.5 +22 but for kicks I test fitted them in the rear and it should poke out like mines below.
As you can see it's similar to your right rear poking out and I'm on factory arms and lowered 2". Just cause your car means it's a clean title NO accidents doesn't mean it's necessarily true, some peeps cover up and not report minor stuff. Only thing I can think of is suspension components may have been altered on the left side. Excuse my man feet... It was 85 degrees winter time in sunny side california. Lol.
LoveThatV8- whats your camber at? im also tucking a little bit of tire. and yes i did check for any frame damage by looking under the frame while it was on the lift. i spent about an hour looking at the whole rear end with my buddy who does the alignment. we checked the bushings on all the arms, we checked if any had scrapes or bends, looked at the differential mounts/bolts, and they all looked fined.
ChrisNI- well i mean +22 isn't too aggresive but it does poke. ill need to check both sides i guess.
but i dont see any symptoms of a bad wheel bearing. =/ the only thing i can see for now is if its pressed in more on one side.
Haven't ran alignment yet... planning to do it soon though, been busy with work and school. Probably when tax refund comes around, gonna spoil myself to do alignment, trans/diff flush, and either INGS kit or HKS exhaust.
Once I do, I'll post up alignment specs... I've always wanted to know where my camber is at. Other than that, it's kinda hard to determine where your issue is at using the naked eye, even if you've spent hours under your car. Maybe a blown left rear shock which would cause your car to sag and camber in more? Just a wild guess, hope you solve your issue my man, I'd hate to have uneven tire wear.
well my alignment is dead on even on both sides. my coilovers are only a month old and it is not blown. yeah i hope i figure it out. if not i may just have to get the mega arms from figs

Rear wheel poking further out than rear left?
