rear left wheel not flush to fenders??
so i have 1piece brabus monoblock IV in 20x9.5 all around with ET45 offsets all around..
but for some odd reason, all wheels stick out equally EXCEPT rear left wheel, as if its the wrong offset even though i double checked its ET45 stamped all around, the rear left wheel sits about 1/2 inch in towards body than the rest of the wheels - anyone experience this problem? the car is lowered 1"
1) maybe control arm bushings worn out? but i double checked and theyre all good.
2) need camber adjusting? not sure about this one..
3) maybe air strut going out?? but on flat surface, its even wheel gap - 2 finger gap.
4) hub assembly?
5) thrust arms?
6) alignment??
i appreciate any response and thanks in advance to taking time to view this topic.

Vossen wheels thanks for response!!
alot almost 1"
but i think i nailed it down since there arent really any problems with arm bushings and struts..
it has to be alignment.. somewhere along the lines of camber and/or toe being in or out..
would u agree?? im taking it to get aligned within the next couple days, i will inform them about rear left wheel.
i'll take pics and post within few hours..
again i appreciate your help.

^^^Thats likely it....You would be amazed how out of spec a wheel(s) can be until they get aligned etc properly. I highly doubt its the wrong offset on the wheel as that would mean an entire production run of wheels is wrong.
Good luck.
