Default Camber issue? Thoughts Needed!

i installed 20mm H&R Spacers today with the studs. when i finished installing them i knew one side is more pushed out the the other. is this a camber issue because i never got my camber redone when i put on my new stocks+springs.

I've seen alot of cars that seem to have slightly different clearance on each side, you'd never notice unless you're running an aggressive wheel setup. It could very well be normal and there wouldn't be anything you can really do about it. That being said, if you haven't had an alignment since you lowered the car (not sure if that's what you meant), you should do that before you chew up an expensive set of tires.

wait, you installed spacers and now 1 side/set of wheels is pushed out farther than the opposite side?
or do you mean 1 side cambers more than the other?

either way, you still need to get an alignment done, since you havent done so yet.
