Front wheel offset issue.

[robertf]

So I have a set of Mario's GNX offset style wheels. I've recently noticed the drivers front sets inboard more than the right. 1/2 inch to be exact. May not sound like much but it is noticeable. I have spent all afternoon {wheels off}
measuring suspension on both sides. It does have Spohn upper/lowers. Everything checks out. Car has never been wrecked. Checked offset on both wheels, both equal. I'm at a loss. Front rotors are identical. I even measured the GNX flares, everything is equal. So I need to gain 1/2 inch on one side. Heres the million dollar question. Instead of a spacer/new studs, is there a rotor that will fit these cars that has a 1/2 inch thicker hat? This would be the ticket, but I will resort to a spacer if needed. Sorry it's long winded. Thanks.

Car has never been wrecked but bushings have been changed a some point. I will do some digging into that.

Sounds like the body sitting off center on the frame. I believe that's a pretty common thing with these cars, and 1/2" seems to be the common number.

Not to hijack the thread. But whats procedure on correcting it?.

loosen all the body mount bolts, jack up body and you can center it on frame moving it with a bar between the rocker and frame , get it where it needs to be , lower body and tighten the bolts

You guys have been a huge help.
Thanks.

Well upon further inspection this morning, looking at the front drivers bushing, it looks to be about 1/2 inch off {to the left} from the original seat mark that the original bushings leave. At least it's fixable.
This is GOING TO SUCK!

Can you take a pic of it to share?

To be honest, a picture will not reveal anything noticeable. Looks completely normal. I will try and get a left/right pic tomorrow before I start.
