Default suspension problem in delsol

So I have a big problem and do not know what it is....my rims have a slight offset, don't ask me what the specspecs, but its not a b ig offset. Anyways reason I know they are offset is cuz they used to be on my ek. Anyways rear wheels look perfect, offset is there, as for the front wheels there is a big problem. The driver side tire sticks out a lot from wheel well and is slightly tilted outward (tire makes a 85 degree angle with floor that is away from car, not underneath) and the passenger side has no offset and the wheel is actually tucked inside the wheel well. Not sure what it is. It is on stock suspension. Some one told me crossmemeber is bent. I don't know. Any ideas?

you could have a bent component on the driver side. have you hit anything recently?? a pothole..dropoff??

also "passenger side has no offset"??? i know you dont imply you are running a zero ofset wheel so what does that mean??

No both wheels are offset but what I meant to say is that on the passewnger side, due to suspension problem, when u lookt at wheel it is tucked in...and no its been like that since I bought car, which was about 1 month ago...its been sitting cuz my tranny gave out, but I'm trying to fix asap, cuz I got new tranny to put in. I'm gonna take pics right now and post

You got something bent there, as stated above. I'm thinking its the A-arm part of the driver side, cause you said that side has a more positive camber than the passenger side. Why don't you inspect the driver side A-arm and the passenger side, measure and compare each side to see if there correct. Have you notice, if you have any camber kits on it, since you had the car for a month?
