Hi Troy,
I believe you're seeing an elusion with the bulge of the radial
tire on the ground, but you may double check it by crawling under and
taking an actual measurements near the tires and near the differential
housing. Or check for a bent axle by jacking the wheels off the ground
and spinning them along side a carpenters square, straight edge, they
may have forgot to tighten the lug nuts. Many times the rims won't fit
the centers of a Real axle.
God Bless America, ßill O|||||||O
