Uneven spacing in front fender area

HI! So I noticed a difference in the spacing in between around the front fender area. The front right wheel of my car sticks out more than the left, so when make a u-turn (cheese grater noise) the tire hits the fender. It excessively wears out my front right tire and I dont have any money for new tires right now. The ride height is even on both sides. I am currently running 225/45/16 +0 offset tires. Any suggestions? =]

Heres a text pic... lol


______<<<fender fender>>>______
[[[[[[ wheels ]]]]]]]]

See how the right sticks out more?


Checked the suspension components and they all seemed fine. I might of missed something tho. Any suggestions? TY.

Since you say it excessively wears out the front right tire, I would suggest having the front end alignment checked.

not sure about the shops in your area, but a few of the ones in mine do free alignment checks... something to look into.
