Default rear left wheel sticking out? right wheel is flush!

ok so i put on my wheels and i notice that my left wheel is sticking about 1/2"-3/4" out of the fender well. i look at the right side and it flush with the fender. there are no spacer on the car and the car has never been into an accdent. what could the problem be? could it be the trailing arm bushings causing this? or the lower control arms?

in an extreem case, it could be what you mentioned, or most likey, if the wheels are new, the place you bought them from could have sent you one that has the wrong offset. try switching them around and see if it changes.

I think for the rear the camber is set with shims.

Did you try switching that wheel to another hub? It could be the wrong offset, you never know...
