Uneven offset Left to Right

I just put back my summer wheels which are the G35 Coupe Rays 19's

I'm noticing that the tires on the passenger side poke out a bit more

I've got the rear on the rears... And the tires are the same.

Am I missing something?



I know it's not exact but trying to show you what I am seeing





More tire sticking out





No tire sticking out from fender

Within spec, had it aligned in the fall.

This was from when it was at the dealer for fluids in August of 2015

It was aligned again in September but should be in spec...I think

You can't judge by sheet metal, ever.
Sometimes bodies aren't perfect.

But……there are not measurements for individual toe.

Does it drive straight? Are tires wearing evenly? If yes to both, I wouldn't worry about it.

You know, human bodies are not symmetrical either. It's a proven fact that one ******** hangs lower than the other

This is true. I think i may have figured out why it looks like this

I got some work done on the driver side, its possible that the body shop pulled the fenders to get a more flush look.

Another fact that comes to mind is weight of each corner. I think it was in one of motor trend's road tests on this car where they weighed each corner.

Correction, it was car and driver.

One other thing that happens sometimes too, is if one set of wheels has hub rings and the ring stays behind and you install a new wheel it can keep it from meeting the hub properly.

Stock Infiniti wheels use hub centric rings?

I thought they were all lug centric

I think it could possibly be because the rear passenger side is slightly higher.

I should measure the center to fender distance, but for now my three fingers barely fit on the driver side, but easily fit on the passenger side.

OEM won't be, but I wasn't sure if your winter tires were aftermarket or not. If you went OEM to OEM there shouldn't be any rings. If it's really bothering you it only takes a couple minutes to take a wheel off to make sure there's nothing blocking it and put it back on.

OEM wheels are hubcentric, the OEM mag style lug nuts w/ washers get it very close and the 66.1mm wheel bore and matching hub flange do the final centering.
