If I don't need a PHR, how will I fix the issue in the pics above where the rear passenger tire fits perfect but the rear driver side tire sticks out?

You dont NEED it, you want it. That only needs to be fixed in your mind. It's purely cosmetic. Now do you understand?

If your going to lower it down the road you may as well get a good APHR now. If your will never lower it, any cheap one will do.

I appreciate your input and yes I do realize it is purely cosmetic and doesn't NEED to be fixed. But this is NOT acceptable...

And if I didn't care about cosmetics, I wouldn't have bought the rims in the first place.

That doesn't look purely cosmetic to me...that looks like a car that has the Friday specs, i.e...."come one, drop that cheese and stop gulping red wine, we need to get this car out of here before 5 PM, lets throw that rear axle in real quick" (turn off french accent).

As far as that thing sticks out, a PHB looks like a must to me, that is waaay too far off, at least according to the picture.

BTW, the axle will always stick out further on the drivers side when it is properly centered due to the suspension design. As the axle moves up it will move to the passenger side. The other side should stick out about 1/4" less.

And yes, if it were my car, I'd get a rod ended PHR right quick.

Yes, they use high end QA1 rod ends. Should last for years.
