One wheel sticks out farther than the other

Ok, I'm resolved to asking this question here. I must have talked to a dozen different people about this and nobody has a clue.

My rear driver's wheel/tire sticks out a solid 1/2" more than the passenger side.

I am running 315/35/17 GS-D3's with LFP 3/8" hubcentric spacers on American Muscle 10.5 replicas.

The passenger side is perfect, but the driver's side is noticeably jutted out.

I had a 4-wheel alignment done and it brought it back in a little, but it's still a solid 1/2" farther out.

I also replaced the driver's side inner tie rod because the bushing was failing.

The car has never been in a wreck.

Anybody got any idea? What could possibly cause this?

1) the car IS a massed produced vehicle...they're not perfect...

2) You sure it's NEVER been in ANY kind of wreck?

3) Take a micrometer and measure both wheel spacers to ensure they are in fact the same (and proper) thickness

4) Remove both rear wheels and measure the backspacing to ensure that they are the same (cast in Taiwan-cheesy..ya never know)
