take a look at the width of the fenders, i have the same issue, looks like my drivers side is tucked in too far compared against my passenger side, only because of how the car was hit and the fender was pulled out to give the illusion of the car being straight.

the front wheels appear to be the same as the rear wheels, which is the primary concern, that is what you want to look at, as long as they are aligned correctly with the rear there shouldnt be any problem and your issue should be cosmetic as far as i can tell.

Perhaps but to have BOTH right side wheels appear to be farther inside the fender as compared to BOTH left side wheels sounds like a major issue to me. If the car weren't a unibody structure I'd say the whole frame had shifted, but obviously that's not the case.

I'm betting whoever did the pulling on the frame machine screwed something up.

i think it depends entirely on how the car was hit previously, which would be something to look into, but when the wheels line up with each other from front to back its usually a cosmetic thing that makes it appear that way, the only other way i can tell would be to check to see how the wheels are positioned in reference to the frame of the car from underneath.
