Hey guys I was looking at the back of my cars when I realized the right and left tires arent even. Can anybody tell me why?

the camber? the placement of the wheel? the offset?

i know that one side of the car tends to sit a tad lower than the other. at least it was for my S (the left was a bit higher than the right, which kinda made the tires look uneven, but the tread was equal.)

Because the ground isn't completely flat, and your alignment is off.

No it has nothing to with the ground and my alignment sems fine. If you look one tire sticks out more than the other.

it just looks like one side of the car sits slightly lower than the other. if that's the case, then it's normal.

No I am the 2nd owner. I bought the car from San Jose Honda with 22,000miles on it and it had clean car fax and the 1st owner returned this to change to a 4 door civic
