First off you can't see both sides at the same time. But maybe a wight balance would be more in line then trying to match fender to tire.

Since people sit in the driver side it could be the spring itself is fatigued which has it biased to one side.

You can remove the bolt completely on the passenger side and it would get it closer.

I changed the front spring because my original one had rusted lowering bolts... so I bought a used one. Both springs did the same thing...
