It would be funnier if you have ever seen me because of my size
I loved that car after all it was a "sporty" tercel LOL

I assume the wheels/tires are matching sizes and brands side to side because that also could make things look off

You said its your first car so you have two options drive it and see what happens as far as tire wear or if you are really worried about it it will need to go to a frame shop for exact measurements

there should be no slack but if they are leaning it would explain the situation you have
Its highly unlikely but you just never know

O alright I don't think they are. We still have to cut the fenders before we take it to the shop cause you can't turn the wheels!

Looks a little funky to me. Should be able to tell for sure on an alignment rack. Rear toe and camber should be zero degrees, thrust angle should be less than .25 degrees.
