Front wheel sticks in on one side:(

My car is in really good shape,but this one thing bugs the hell outta me,when you look at the car from the front,the wheel to the left is alright,but the wheel on the right sticks in more,could this be because it was in an accident,the car was painted about a year ago by the previous owner,it has a super straight body,it was originally black now it is yellow,my question is how do I make the wheels even??spacers???any suggestions would be helpful,it just bugs me

The gap is about 1 inch on the front left wheel,it sticks in 1 inch about,maybe the other tire sticks out too much???????

Sounds to me like the front end has been wrecked. That's how my car was after it was hit in the front end. I got rid of it. Just my two cents.

I don't know about the Camaro wheels,, but on the 16" formula or GTA wheels,, the front & back have different backspacing. Maybe the front & back wheels were switched,, if the backspacing idea applies. Never know,,
