Default Need Wheel Spacer Help!

Hi Everyone, I have a 84 (stock, w/ stock rims & tires) and the pass. side wheel is tucked in about 2'in. How can i space it out to be the same as the drivers side. Car rides fine, it just bugs the sh** out of me .
Any help would be great.
Thanks Dave

Are you sure it has the correct wheel on that corner ? Maybe it has an 8 1/2 wheel on one side and a 91/2 on the other.

Checked camber ? 1/2" side to side may be normal. I think 2" is a lot.
