2nd Gen front wheel issues??????

Right bit of a wierd one....

As some of you may know i'm building a Peripheral Port wide body 2nd gen RX. I've built the front wings prior to this in glass fiber. I have now a pair of steel wings that i will modify to match the fiber glass design.

Anyway the wings turned up today so i popped them on the car. (unmodifed at this point) and came up with a problem. The wheels are not equally spaced out.

Now i had a very quick look. Everything looks right on th car. No Knocks, no silly camber differences, no bent arms and the wings are the same, i.e. not bent or squashed.

Anything i have missed on the wheek adjustments on the front end of the car?

I've had a similar problem with my mr2. I was told that the actual fitment of the fender can cause a visual illusion like that. You have to do actual suspension measurements or frame measurements. How's the alignment?

It's your fender. Check out your spacing between your hood and your fender
