Default rear end adjustment

Is it aceptable to have one rear tire sit 1/8 inch further from the front of the wheel well than the other? if not, is it acceptable to adjust only one LCA leaving both LCA's at different lengths?

1/8 is not a problem, adjusting one against the other is the reason we buy after market adjustable lca , there are ways to adjust with stocker , but easyer with adjustable, yor need to get on a alignment rack and check / adjust the "thrust line " adjust to "0" or a little postive ( .02 to .04 ") most at stock are little negtive, most over -.13 will push rear to left on hard loungh

this is is assuming the body of the car is symmetrical left/right. without checking the rear alignment, you don't know for sure if ont tire really is ahead of the other.
