Default 3 same rims 1 different. blah

Well i just got this 95 camaro a couple months back. have not been driving much have just been fixing things. well i always noticed the rear looked like it was shifted.. i figured cause it was lowered it may have moved. i got an adjustable panhard and adjustable LCA's for christmas.

so i installed and aligned the rear, problem is.. wasnt the rear. i never even thought to look at this, i took the rear rims off today and noticed they are different! the drivers side was the whole problem the whole times. it sits out way further than the passenger side. so now i gotta find one rim. but the reason i post this is cause i have a question.

when i thought the rear was off (it really wasnt) i had the car jacked up and the passenger side tire was sitting on the bump stop... i have now adjusted the rear where it doesnt do this and the tires are center. can i keep it like this or is the shift bad for anything? and if im thinking right.. if i get another one of those rims both sides will be sitting on the bump stop when raised.. what should i do!

First off why is the the tire touching the bumpstop? Is the car lowered at all? How are you adjusting the rearend with an adjustable PHB(side to side adjustments)?

Sounds like one rims has a different back spacing then the other. What kind of rims are they? There is a lot of information missing to fully get better understanding for people to help you out. Maybe some pics if you can.

ya i will get some pics up. i believe they are chrome 96-97 ss rims.. could be zr1's though too i guess. 275's are my tire width. same tire on both rims. and on each side, the bumpstop has a top. and when the car is jacked up, suspension hanging, the passenger side was hanging up on the top part of the bump stop.

ill see if i can get some pics.. my camera is almost dead and i forgot the damn charger at my moms over the holidays.
