Crooked steering wheel
As I was driving today, I noticed that for my car to go in a straight line, the steering wheel had to be turned slightly to the left.
When I straighten the wheel out to what i see as straight, the car steers to the right.
Any way to adjust the steering wheel so it's straight?

One quick solution may be to swap the left and the right wheels to inverse the pull and see what happens.

If it was a problem with the tires, wouldn't swapping the tires just cause the car to pull to the other side?
Also, the rear right tire was replaced about 500 miles ago while the other three already had ~8k on them (normal driving). Would that cause the car to pull left even though it's the rear tires?

Not sure about the right rear tire. It can cause some handling issues, but I'm not sure it would cause pull. Normally you should replace tires in pairs.
In Atlanta, I have taken my car to a place called Gran Turismo. They tend to be quite good at solving alignment and tire pull issues.
