Put my stock spare tire carrier back on today and it appears to be off center and more on the right side. Never noticed before. Is it always like this or did I enter another dimension of time and space?
Stock spare tire carrier appears off center
- Thread starter Joeinnewjersey
- Start date
It is off center from the factory. It kinda drives us OCD people a little crazy. It drives me even more crazy that the 3rd light is centered. The internet rumor I heard is that it was done to give more room for the tailgate latch. Seems reasonable but I never verified that reasoning.
OP
So since I have never noticed or even paid attention to this, does it make me non OCD??????It isn’t centered horizontally either.
I was trying to centre my wheel trash bag and nothing I did looked right! Then I thought Why The Fuck did they do this? I had to take it off!
Only symmetrical people notice this shit and let it annoy them.

Well I’ve notice it before, and I thought i was crazy, I got my uncle’s car to compare but it’s the same… also one of the front tires seem to be more close to the engine????? On both cars, anyone else noticed it?
Yes, one of the front tires is closer to the engine because the engine sits off center in the engine bay. More accurately, the engine is closer to one of the front tires since both tires are centered on the chassis.
