    Just recently noticed that my rear tires stick out different amounts on my truckIMG_2369.jpg
    Rear drivers side

    IMG_2368.jpgRear passenger side

    I haven't had the chance to measure the difference yet but it is significant
    Any ideas?

    This is normal. All the tundras I looked at my local dealerships lot were like this when I bought mine

    I thought it was just me....it appears both tires on the passenger side stick out a little more than the drivers side.

    Welcome to the party! I did a slight lift on mine with new tires and rims and the same thing happened. I was like “what in the fuck”. Oh well. Drive on!

    Mines the same. Didn’t notice it until I got wider wheels with less offset. Now I notice it all the time.

    I noticed this on mine a couple months ago. Now it’s all I can look at, even though it’s “normal” it is very irritating for someone as ocd as me

    I noticed it on mine after I put my lift shackles on. About 1/4" difference, wider on passenger side. I thought I just misaligned something during the install but could never correct it. This thread is the first I've heard of others noticing it, which makes sense I guess. If it's so universal among Tundras, not much to talk about.

    You’re right, it’s very common and I have noticed it on other tundras but it still bugs me even though the truck drives great. Drives much better than my dodge where I had to have the cv axle replaced 2x, traded it in when it needed replaced again.

    I’ve noticed this on mine and I get some slight dog tracking. It was annoying at first but reading that everyone else has it was some comfort. I will say I need to straighten my bed. The gap from cab to bed is slightly larger on the driver side.

    I had some free time tonight so I measured from truck frame to the wheels and both are equal, then got to looking at the bed. After wondering why the axle would be shifted to the right it has been the bed is misaligned the whole time. I’m going to try and adjust it tomorrow

    Well, I gave it a shot. Took the bed bolts out, lifted bed and shifted it over. Only problem is, they’re not adjustable. To really do it right you’ll have to drill another hole into the frame. I didn’t take the time to do that so for now I’m going to try and forget about it

    Just noticed both my passenger side wheels stick out further. My OCD is killing me. Makes me want to put bigger spacers on the passenger side. Just put 1.25” on. That’s how I noticed.

    When I did aftermarket wheels I put a small wheel spacer on the driver side to help it a bit.

    Quit looking at it and don't measure it.
