Rear passenger side tires stick out about 1/2 to 1 inch more than all the other tires

[DPE]

Rear passenger side tires stick out about 1/2 to 1 inch more than the all the other tires. I've noticed it for a while and it's been bugging. Is this normal? What could be wrong and how can I fix it? Could it possibly be that one wheel offset could be different than the others and is causing this and possibly a shipment mistake?

As far as I'm aware the drivers side should be out as much as the passenger side. But you can take car of the track difference by installing wheel spacers.

M_{1ck3y, I am not sure what you mean by " I can take car of the track difference by installing spacers."?}

You can add wheel spacers to the front. They go in between the hub and the wheel, in turn pushing the wheel/tire out further. This common practice.

 

There's others on this forum that more knowledgable than me on this subject. Hopefully they chime in.

 

But you'll want hub centric/wheel centric spacers. Your hub bore is 78.1mm. The rest depends on whether or not your running an oe wheel or an aftermarket one.

 

As to why you have one side that lines up and the other doesn't I don't know.

When I was researching the 3.5" Fabtech lift I couldn't find any pics to see what my truck might look like.  

 

This is the 3.5 Fabetch "budget lift" on a 2019 Silverado.  Moto Metal 0983 Dagger 20" wheels & Toyo 33×12.5  RT tires.

Yeah , that wouldn't make since to put spacers on it would it? That would mean I would put spacers on only 3 tires.

M4junkie, i think you posted in the wrong forum or subject...I am talking about my wheels sticking out lol

[richard wysong]

its most likely that wheel has a different offset. not hard to check with a ruler/ tape measure

[Gagliano7]

Could be you bed is off a little to one side.

[DPE]

I think it is the offset and am going to take it back in next Saturday to have it looked at. I am paranoid about it lol

Also, I don't think the bed is off to one side.....its a newer truck and never drive crazy or anything. Also, I've had people adjust my alignment, rotate tires etc and they never said anything about it. So, if it wasn't lined up right I would think someone would have noticed and pointed it out to me. 

We'll see when I take it back to the shop.

Does the bed line up with the cab even on both sides.

Use a straight edge of cardboard. 

I bet it's off.

Stock suspension?  Any modifications to the truck?

 

Measure the distance from the rear leaf spring to the hub backing plate, it should be the same on both sides.  If not, the differential/axle has shifted.

 

Is the truck new to you?  Perhaps an unreported accident from a previous owner?

That was never mentioned in the thread, but certainly adds to the need to measure from leaf-backing plate to ensure the rear diff was installed correctly.
