same wheel, same car, same offset, so why is it different?

To add to my confusion on offsets see if you can solve this one. both me and DSSkyline have 19x10 roja formula 7s in a +30 offset in the rear. Here is a pic of of wheels side by side at the same angle. It is evident that why wheel is pushed out more but my question is why? I have several pics of both his car and mine comparing this and in every shot it seems my offset it lower. The only difference is mine are silver, his gmetal. see for yourself. what is the reason for this?

His on left, mine on right

It's probably due to the drop, different springs. He really needs an alignment way to much negative camber.

hmmm...yeah it looks like camber is an issue but even then it looks like the offsets and possibly the widths are different. Have you looked on the back of the wheels to check the wheels width and offsets? or is he going by what the seller told him?

yep, as above, the car has a lot of neg camber. if you look near the
bottom half of the wheel, the offset is very similar to yours.
