Default 93 Civic Si Wierd Fender gap

So my 93 Si has these pretty big gaps in under the front fenders, the front wheels seem set backwards. I was wondering how I can get the front wheels to be in the middle of the fenders like the rear wheels and what's caused them to be in this position to start with.

Been in a front in wreck before? If so, I'm guessing cheap aftermarket parts were used. Fenders, bumper, hood, and possibly the radiator support.

That's a dumb assumption.

Op I believe your cars subframe is messed up or not the correct one to the car.

If the body doesn't line up, it's usually because it's been wrecked and the frame is warped.

his body parts all line up (for the most part) so it's not a front end collision that is causing that.

i'm gonna go with subframe/control arms.

Lowey control arms are on the wrong side. Look underneath they should have a slight angel towards the front of the car. If the bends towards the rear. That's your problem. Very simple to fix, just need an alignment after.
