So I noticed my driver side rear SF-Challenge is considerably more flush than the passenger side rear.

Both are 10.5" +23 w/ 275/35 set at -1.5 camber & dropped exactly the same (measured it)

What could it be? LOL

switch the rims from side to side to see if you still notice the difference

Try tape measure it. Sometimes it's eye illusion of left side and right side.

BTW, was your alignment set with you sitting in the car? Are you in the car when you notice the difference? That could be why they look different

Maybe one is a high disk and one is a low disk. Check the stickers on the inside of the barrels. Or just measure the thickness of the disks.

yeh, i checked everything on the stickers to make sure. my first thought was they had different offsets (bought the wheels used) so i checked the stickers asap. everything matches up.

Were they ever taken apart to be polished? They may have installed one of the front centers on the rear, and vise versa. Ask Triple8sol about that one
