2016 charger hellcat right side is 1" lower than the left. that is 1" less clearance from top of tire to fender, and when measured in front on a level surface also. is this an issue, or nothing to be concerned about?

If only driving counterclockwise in tight circles it'd be fine.

Otherwise, I'd definitely try to find out what's causing that.

Of course not.

One is a left tire, the other is a right.
They should be matched. You might have found the problem. 🤷‍♂️

@Jimmy N. Until yesterday we did not acknowledge the troll. But it was a clever response. I like the recommendation to just drive fast in a circle the correct direction and all will be fine.

This may be a stretch, but it is possible that the camber/caster (probably more for the front than rear) and unevenness of your observed empty car clearances are set up to settle some on the left side with a driver sitting in it. Sit in the car and have someone check the clearances. Maybe they will even out? I'd be interested to know.

When I was researching AAD parts I found an article saying this can be a design feature.
