Not uncommon. My stock carrier wasn't straight either.

I'm not sure if a spacer is installed. I know an extension for the brake light is on but not sure about a wheel spacer. I will uninstall it all tomorrow and see if there's anything I can change around

Problem was a spacer (that I did not know was installed). Uninstalled it and am all good!

If you are that OCD where did your rear bumper go? If you dropped it for angle clearance why do you have those fire extinguisher nozels for exhaust?

I would assume he moved it because of how low the tire is

I took off the rear bumper because I hate plastic on my Jeep and have a new rear bumper on the way. And what does my exhaust tips have to do with it?

Simplest thing would be to look for a new stock tire carrier that isn't off center. Then you wouldn't have to cut anything up or drill anything. I don't recall my carrier being off kilter, I'll get it down from the loft and take a look at it.

Ya the stock tire carrier was aligned correctly, it was the spacer that messed it up

Maybe you took the bumper off so you can see those sweet mm logos?
