Front Passenger Wheel not centered in Wheel Well?

Evo 8 hit a curb (moderate/heavy hit), and the LCA was noticeably bent. I replaced it and the bushings, also replaced the inner/outer tie rod for the hell of it, and the wheel is still not centered. It doesn't rub when turning, but it is still like 1/2"-1" off center pushed towards the back. What could be causing it to be pushed back?

How does the wheel itself look or the axle?

Wheel is good, axle is good, and strut looks good as well. I actually replaced the strut with a new one just to see if there were any changes, with no change.

Did you take it to get realigned after you replaced everything?

No, that is the last thing on my list. Will that actually change something?

Do you have pictures? Did you have the wheel balance?

Unfortunately I do not, and I dont think the wheel balance would affect how the wheel is centered in the wheel well. All 4 rims and tires were replaced and balanced after the incident, i wanted a different look on the car, and the previous OEM enkeis were not cutting it for me.
