Is the rear wheel supposed to be like this?

[Deleted member 5352]

First of all, please try not to judge. I know this might sound crazy or I'm just being too paranoid but when I looked at my Maverick in the driveway from my window, it looked like my passenger rear wheel was slightly cambered. It's very difficult to capture it on camera but it seems like the rear wheels are slightly angled and cave in towards the inner wheel well. The tires don't sit flush with the wheel arch. The driver-side is like that too. I'm assuming this is how they're supposed to be but to me they just seem kinda off. Let me know what you think.

Looks like the angle of the dangle meets the heat of the meat(optical Illusion)

How do you track ?

If you are referring to the negative camber, that should be normal, and allow for the suspension geometry to compensate for a load in the bed.

That makes sense. Thank you for finally answering my question as oppose to the smartasses up above. I know it was a ridiculous question to begin with but all I wanted was a straight answer.

Being a ifs/irs vehicle it will have front and rear alignment settings. Keep an eye on tire wear and if it starts to look off take it for an alignment.

Perfectly normal, if you happen to be behind a Rav4, they probably do it the worst. With these being independent suspension you'll have that negative until it's loaded and it'll even out! Happy to see you have yours!

Thank you for your advice.

I noticed it after I installed new wheels and figure it was more noticeable due to the new offset. It’s engineered like that, but is adjustable if needed.
