Need more info, year, make and model of car? Are you talking about the front end or the back of the car? Is the car all original? Has it been modified, suspension wise? What wheels do you have on it, what is the size and backspacing on the wheels? Lots of thing can factor into why one wheel sticks out further than the other! At some point something could have been changed on the suspension because of an accident and they didn't notice that the mount was bent, hard to say.
Either you have four bent controls arms or something is not right with the wheels, what is the size of the wheels? Are all four the same size?
they are all 17x8s american racing torque thrust II's is all i know about them and the car is all stock underneath of it and its the rear of the car. so you think it could be bent suspension parts?
another note is i measured from the outside of the tire to the body panel on both sides and they were not the same when.

The four control arms center the rear end, I seriously doubt that all four are bent. It has to be the wheels, you say they are the same back space, but have you measured all four of the wheels to make sure they are the same. It is not uncommon to buy wheels and have them ship a wrong size wheel. Take the wheels off and measure from the back lip to the mounting hub of the wheel, I bet you find one is a different back spacing.
okay when i get free time to measure them i will but the only reason why i dont think that is because i measured form the tire to the rear quarter panels and it measured like 4 or 5 inches on the left side and it was 6 or 7 inches
