Default Rear wheels look like they are further out
Finally got done replacing a ton of parts on this rust bucket and put the new wheels on, the rear wheels look like they stick out much further then the front! Is this an allusion or is this the way the h3/h3ts look?

Tires are 315/75

The tires are 2" wider than OEM specs PLUS front alignment appears to be set at NEGATIVE CAMBER with the top of the tires leaning inwards. Get an alignment check ASAP!

That’s normal for the H3/H3T. Rear wheels are often wider or have a different offset than the front, which can cause them to appear to stick out more.

H3 wheels are all the same spec. If your ordered aftermarket wheels, then you could get different front vs rear wheels, but that would e a poor choice.
