Got 7j porsche cookie cutters on my mk1 cab. I have an issue in that the drivers rear wheel pokes out further than the passenger.
I've checked the wheels individually and all carry same part number and all stamped 7j
As far as I know 7j cookies only came in one offset et23 so ruled this out (unless anyone knows different regards offsets)
Checked adapters and all same width
Anyone else have a similar issue?
Cheers

I've assumed from identical part numbers that they are the same but it would be an obvious answer to the issue. Im having 2 new rear tyres fitted today so will fit them back on the other way and see what they look like.

From that photo the inside of the wheel looks further out than the other, it's highly unlikely that both the rear axle has been offset by accident damage at exactly the same amount as the front end so swap the wheels around

Tried all 4 wheels in turn and each one sits the same so it's not the wheels… spacers are the same thickness also. It drives straight so nothing bent.
Anything else I can check?

I think you are right, when I get a dry day I'll get it up on axle stands and start measuring points of ref.
I'm guessing there is an element of left to right movement in it - no experience of how the beams mount however had a few MK2 beams of and from memory they bolt into the body with a plate with 4 bolts on each side?

Make sure you soak the nuts in penetrating fluid and use an impact gun if you have one to undo them. If not be careful as they can shear and then you're in a world of pain.

I wonder just how much movement is available as the wheel tucks in quite a distance… I have a blow lamp and impact wrench so will have them on standby.
Do you know if there are differences in drum thickness? Long shot but if so, maybe it's got mismatched ones on it?

Could be anything TBH
Good luck measuring and checking!

Stub axle length or spacing occured to me also. I'm going to measure the mounting points to a point towards the outside of the car and if they match both sides I can assume the beam mounting is ok, then I'll measure the arms to a point also. If they look ok I'll have to strip the drums out and investigate further.
