Default Steering wheel not straight

My steering wheel is not straight when the car is going straight. The alignment is fine, it is just the wheel itself. The wheel is about 2/3" right of center.

I think this can be adjusted by the tie rod's but I am not sure how to do it.
Anyone know how to fix this??

It can be adjusted that way. Problem is if you don't know what you are doing you will mess up the alignment. Best bet is to take it to a alignment shop and have them adjust it for you. They have the equipment to make sure everything stays in spec

It is the stock wheel. It is only slightly off but when I got a new stock wheel I tried to fix it but it was either off to the right or left, never right in the middle. I think I will wait until i get some suspension and then get it all aligned at once and save two trips to the alignment shop.

Thanks for the advice.
