Need help from the wheel/suspension experts
Hi guys.
I have a problem with my front wheels. I saw couple threads about it but it didn't give me specific answer.
Car is a 96 integra.
It has never been in an accident except hitting a curb at maybe 15-20mph which shattered the cheap *** rims I had back then.
Problem since is my driver side wheel is more tucked in the fender than the right. It becomes more obvious when I put on +20 rims on the car. The passenger side looks like it's zero offset rims while the driver side looks flush. Otherwise the car drive straight whether auto crossing or running 11s down a quarter-mile.
What are the possible list of things that could be bent?
Thanks in advance.

I would consider hitting a curb at 20 mph a pretty good accident Lol. I'm sure you've seen the video floating around facebook of the 240 trying to drift a roundabout and then ends up killing a curb right in front of the camera guy. Knocks the wheel clean off and didn't even look like he was doing more than 15-20mph at the time of impact. If the wheel actually sits farther in on one side the subframe or frame rail could be bent. Are you sure your fender isn't just a little off?
Fenders have never been off the car and it aligns with everything.
Forgot to mention 1 more thing. The steering wheel is slightly tilted more to the left.
Only damage the crash did was shatter the rims and bent the rotor slightly. Put on new wheels and rotors car drove straight except the slightly off steering wheel.
I mean if the frame is bent this thing eats through turns better than most and feels solid launching on slicks and what not. But I'll have a body shop check it out.

From comparing to other Integras passenger side wheel is where it should be but the crashed side is sitting more in. But not cambered in or anything.
