alignment question
 
i just put on some new wheels and tires on today and noticed that the driver side pokes out from the fender more than the passenger side. i was told that the car needed an alignment and from the looks of the photos looks like the passenger side has negative camber and slightly toed out. the drivers side on the other hand has zero camber or maybe a bit positive camber with some toe in.

does the degree to which it's off seem like something a good alignment can fix? here are some top down pics (note: these were "eyeballed" and not perfectly straight down)

Too many variables in a picture. Just have it aligned.

does the stock set up have camber adjustments? or would i be better off getting camber plates?

If the alignment is off as much as the photos suggest, there would have been significant abnormal wear on the tires you took off of the car.

What did those tires look like?

Yes, there is camber adjustment available stock with the car.

the cars entire suspension components appear to have been removed for media blasting. it was just put back together but not dialed in before i bought it. the door panels, hood and fenders still need final adjustment.

i just popped the hood and tweaked the camber a bit to see what the limits are. i also played with the toe in a bit and it definitely got both sides closer but not identical, to the eye at least. maybe the fender needs a little working now.

still waiting to drop the motor in so i wont be able to drive it to get the alignment for another couple weeks.
