My rearend is wider on one side
This is on my 32 open wheeled coupe. I measured my offset of the current wheels, checked for brake caliper clearance and side wall width etc. for my new wheels and tires this weekend. In doing so, I found out that the Drivers side of the rearend sticks out 1/2 inch further than the passengers side. I checked to make sure that the offset of both wheels are now the same. They are.
Is this normal to have one side wider than the other by a little? I never noticed it with my naked eye, but the tape measure does not lie.
When ordering my new wheels, should I order a 1/2 inch deeper offset on the drivers side to try and equal it out or just leave it alone and most people will never be able to tell. I am going from a 3 3/4 inch offset to a 5 1/4 offset.32 Ford

I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
