Rear right 50mm lower than all other wheels

I noticed the rear right (which is my case the driver side; right-hand drive) is 50mm lower then the left. Both front wheels extend the same when measured from hub centre to wheel housing edge.
Is this what the car is supposed to so when I exit the car? Once I am driving bystanders say the rear looks level.

Any hints what I need to be checking out? I have an OBD scanner, but do not see any DTCs indicating a fault with the system.

Wouldn't worry about it too much.

50mm = almost 2" (1.969"). Don't you mean 5mm = .197" ? Actually not really all that much but the car should be leveled out side to side closer I would think.
