question:
when you had all the other stuff installed again, I'm assuming it was realigned? If so, was it with the stock settings? Stock settings have a toe in setting that may be even more exaggerated by a few of your curb rubs there.
Your wheelslook VERY similar, in fact I wouldn't have even spotted it if you didn't point it out. The only thing I can think of is that your right front tire slightly more toe in than the drivers side.
Please do not take my word as gospel, but if I could afford to, I'd probably verify your alignment settings. There are a number of conversations on the forums that cover this but let me save you some time:
zero out your toe in the front and rear.
-2 degrees camber up front
-1.5 camber in the rear.
If there is a setting that may alleviate the appearance of your right front tire "sticking out" more than the other, I personally believe its due to the toe in setting on that wheel. You may be able verify this by looking at the wheels/tires from the front of the car. if it looks like that they are both flush, that may confirm what I'm saying.
