I have 35's on my car and they fit nicely.
However today I noticed on one side I can fit two fingers between the top of the tire and the fender on the passenger side.
On all 3 of the other tires I can barely fit one, I've never noticed the difference before today.
I looked under the car at the Passenger rear side and the spring doesn't have that shipping spacer in them, the car rides fine and handles fine and I'm parked level.
Underneath nothing looks out of place. Got any ideas? Car is only 2 years old and outside of having the doors get damaged and replaced nothing has ever been done to the car frame/ride height wise.
I'm stumped?

Most cars, if you look carefully, seem to sit a bit higher on the driver's side than the passenger's side. I think that's because you know the driver is going to be in the car all the time, and they balance it so that with the weight of the driver in the front seat, the car will be more or less level. That might be it. Or not!

Drove about 25 miles home and seems ok now. I could have sworn the parking lot is flat.
