Default rear axle question tire location

ok,
sorry tried searching but i have no idea even where to start.

ok i recently put 1.5 rear adapters on the ride.
and now i notice that passenger wheel sits in further then driver under the wheel well...by 1/2" - 3/4"
is this a blazer thing or am i missing something....it just bugs me.

any help is appreciated.

Hmm, has your truck ever been in an accident or anything that may have screwed up the suspension geometry that you know of?

Well, is it possible that the adapters are different? Maybe they got mixed up in the packaging process? I believe the wheels should stick out exactly the same amount. I don't have spacers but my rims are offset and the tires are in the same place in the wheel wells.

Do Blazers have a tie bolt? I've had to fix bigger trucks a few times because of a broken one.

i was thinking along the same lines as s14sh3r. sounds like the diff has moved out of position.

have you checked your u-bolts to ensure they're tight & sitting properly?
