2014 body not centered over wheels

I did the 2.5" budget boost lift. And noticed the wheels are not centered over the body. While I understand the rear would be off because of the panhard rod, the fronts should be centered. Maybe someone could verify on their stock rig. So my passenger side rear tire sticks out 1/4" more than the driver rear. Which I understand, I thought about adding a 1/4" wheel spacer on the one wheel to make them match. The fronts however, the passenger front sticks out 3/8" more than the driver front, plus its about 1/2" lower. I understand the whole lean thing, and will add a 10mm top mount spacer in the future.
I wonder if the body is just mounted a little off on the frame.

I think you're reading too far into this, lol. There's bound to be some unevenness, please don't go putting on wheel spacers for the sake of trying to make it look centered. If your alignment thrust angles are good, I wouldn't think about it any further :)
 
That's cute, expecting all the body panels and body mount holes mating to the frame along with the locations of the suspension brackets welded to the frame to line up exactly with your wheels. Bit of advice, don't add any spacers to try and correct the "problem", just let the OCD subside a bit and rock on.

There are so many variables that go into this, obsessing over fractions of an inch isn't worth it.
 
alignment is good, had it done 2 weeks ago. Probably would not havenoticed, but got new wheels and tires, and did tons of research in the backspacing and how much further it would bring out the tires. And of course measuring how much actual lift I got and went to measure other things :)
