Default Fixed!! 2018 Transit Custom any ford techs, rear wheel camber issue

Bought my Transit Custom Limited new mid 2018 and its been great so far, it came with 16" alloys. I'd had a few enquiries regarding front brake kits for them so I thought I'd develop a 6 pot kit using our van as a test mule, this meant fitting 18" wheels to clear the front brakes. The new wheels had more offset than the OE wheels and I soon noticed that the one rear wheel was just inside the arch and the other was at least 10mm further in, after confirming all the wheels were the same offset I put a camber gauge on it and found the O/S/R has 0.5deg positive and the N/S/R has over 3 deg negative camber!! It’s a solid beam axle so no adjustment, this was totally not noticeable with the old wheels as they sat well inside the arch so nothing to reference them off visually. Anyone had the same issue or any Ford techs know if this is a common thing??
