    I just want to clarify, the wheel in question appears sucked in and I want it to stick out like the other tires not the other way around. Tom, I'll do as you suggested in regards to the ball joint flip. If that doesn't work I'll try the fender/cladding option. Thanks to everyone's input and advice.

    Ball joint flip will not help with width problem.

    Depends on which way the torsion bar had been adjusted...if it was. If the torsion bars were indexed unevenly, and an alignment was done afterwards, your wheels may be aligned properly, but they wouldn't necessarily look the same in relation to the body.

    But that is why alignments are ALWAYS recommended after lowering/lifting.

    Hmm. I guess I won't try the ball joint flip. Should I just remove the lift kit, reset everything back to stock and re lift and realign?

    Personally what I would do is check your ball joints to insure they are the same on both sides. Just measure them. If those are the same then its a body panel issue (unless the vx was wrecked and the frame tweeked).
