wheel inset with lowering. Spacers needed?
Ok so here is my question if anyone has noticed this if they have lowered their car. I have sprint springs all around and it lowered the car roughly 1.8 inches all around. The drop looks good. Nice and even and aggressive. What i noticed after working under the car the other day is the inset of the rear wheels. It seems since the car is lowered it shifted the axle to the passenger side. I measured and the inset on the Dr side is 15/16 while the inset on the pass side is 9/16. The Dr side you can tell looks way pushed in but the pass side doesnt look all that bad although the tire could be pushed out a bit to be more flush, but the dr def needs t ospaced out because it is very noticeable.
Has anyone noticed this and what did you do to fix it. I was thinking of putting a 8mm spacer on the pass side rear and 15 mm on the dr side rear.
or an 8mm just on ther dr side rear.
Anyone have any ideas or anything on what they did to fix this

I believe with how the multi-link arm works, when the suspension moves up an down, it doesn't quite go straight up and down. It sort of sweeps a little bit which could explain why the driver wheel looks like it's moving in, and the passenger wheel is moving out a tad. It shouldn't move by much though.
