Default Passenger wheel sits in further on saff

I've replaced the bottom arm on the back of my 2wd saff,and it seems to be sitting further in the arch than the drivers side (as in it has a different offset wheel) they both have the same angle (slightly in at the top because it's lowered) but the tyre on the drivers side is closer to the arch than the passenger side by Half an inch?????? Any ideas guys ??

Beam mount bushes maybe worn. Was told that the standard ones are crap and the whole rear end moves a lot unless you fit updated ones of the top of my head?

I've measured the hub flanges on either side and there the same?? I read up about 1 being thicker than the other, I was hoping that the drivers side would be thicker, it's got poly beam mounts fitted but the arm was replaced due to a kiss to the Kerb lol, could the hoop be bent ?
