    Odd. I went to go take a picture of it and now it looks like it sticks out like the rest of them. The ground is slightly uneven but it looks level from the front...
    When I mean 'sucked in' I'm referring to the wheel being tucked in. I bought 5 wheels assuming that they were all of the same size. Well the mechanic discovered that the wheel on the front passenger side was an inch smaller. It was 7.5 instead of 8.5. I figured that had to be it. We swapped wheels and it looked good at first, but the more I looked at it, it looked like it was still off the same distance.
    Not sure what else to do. It looks normal now on uneven ground.

    Are you saying that your wheels aren't stock? If you have one wheel that's an inch narrower than the rest, even if the tires are all the same size, the tire on the narrower rim will create a different overall look on that corner.
