Default Alignment question after 9 inch

Everything is adj in the back after 9 inch install. The front before numbers are so bad due to recent tie rods and ball joints. Im assuming the rear numbers are good, however the rear is my question.

The drivers side tire is pretty much center in the wheel well, but the pass side tire is not. Its not noticeable by eye, but noticeable when you measure. Its off center by around 3/16". Im assuming im good just wondering what your thoughts are. Specs are in the pic

A set of adjustable lower control arms would solve this problem assuming you do not have any thus why there is a difference side to side.

I do have lcas....got them from you. The specs look good right? If they are good then why not centered in both wheel wells, just the one

With some new tires on my car I actually noticed the same thing the other day. So I just measured the distance from the front wheel to back wheel, on both sides, & it was exactly the same distance. Telling me it's tracking straight just the body/rear quarter is a little off.

That difference isn't going to effect anything.
