right front wheel sticking out
now b4 you say the wrong thing i ll explain. my right front wheel is stick further out that my left and now the right looks a lil more tucked in that b4. i have the same rims all the way around and the tires are the same and this never use to be.
till today as far as i know. i noticed it bc i was chking my car and thinking of how sexy she from standing off at an angle off the right front corner of the car . now that you think that im am a dork. what could cause this to happen and how can i fix it?

Set both wheels so they are pointing forward at equal angles. Then check the following:
Camber, the up and dowm plumbness of both wheels
Toe-in, the angle that the leading edge of the tire points in or out from the body.
Ride height, measure from the ground to the center of the fender lip.
Tire size, are both tires the same size, and brand?
Air pressure.
Castor, refer to the FSM for this, basicly you will be checking the orientation of the arrows molded into the rubber at the top of the strut assembly. Camber is adjusted here also.
Loosen and retorqued the lug bolts, 80-85 lb/ft.
After you have checked all of these items, report the results back and we'll go from there.

toe doesnt look too bad
i dont havea tape measure but the passenger side is about a finger bigger gap than the driver
tires are the same and the pressure is right
i cant find the where in the FSM to adjust the castor, and i can only find one arrow on the top of the strut , i also tired to loosen the nut on the strut and the piston just kept turning so , so i dont know what to do and i dont wanna say **** it.
i also have tokico illuminas all the way around but im still losst abit
