I know from experience that the car can sit on the frame skewed somewhat.
In my case the left rear tire is more outward than the right rear. Maybe in your case it is even more so as to rub the fender lip.
Weak shocks.
When I went to aftermarket wheels with a different offset is was easily noticeable than with the OEM wheels. Look carefully to see how the rear tires compare in the fender opening.

Yup, seems somewhat common. You would probably have to elongate the cradle mounting holes so you can slide it to the driver's side to square it up.
Here's another discussion if interested:
