Default 1 Rear Wheel has more poke

I installed my 17x9 +45x4 w/ 245/40 and coilovers the other weekend and have noticed that one side is poking out more than the other. I haven't gotten an alignment yet, but this doesn't seem like a camber issue? I could of course be wrong, so I'm posting it up to see what you guys think.

Get it aligned before you worry. If your toe is screwed up, it could explain it.

You could replace with a new Subframe or install subframe collars.

This, BUT I had a similar issue with my car, and it ended up really strange. Basically, I got an alignment done and the car dialed in perfectly, and one rear wheel really was ~5mm less aggressive on the passenger side. I took the car to my body guy to have it put it on the frame machine and measure everything out and the car was all lined up frame wise, but for whatever reason the passenger side wheel was just sunken more.

I had my wheels measured to make sure there wasn't something screwy, they were spot on as well. I also installed a Spoon rigid subframe kit and that didn't fix it either. I ended up running a 5mm spacer on the rear on just one side and it fixed everything perfect. Kinda ghetto, but I had the alignment checked and it was dialed in perfect.

The other guy on the boards with a GPW MY07 (same year as mine) that's SC'd with a Novi 1500, I think his screen name is "ilovemyhonda1984," had the same exact issue I did.

I still have no idea why it's like that.
