... but noticed tonight that the drivers side tire is only about an inch and a half( or so) from the front lip of the fender while the passenger side is maybe 2- 3 inchs from the fender lip this is with the wheels pointed straight ahead. ...
I would say either the fender, or more likely your car's suspension has been hit hard on the pass.side which pushed the rightside LCA/K-member/whoknows out of whack.
I would first do some measuring of known points on the suspension parts left & right compared to fixed points on the rearaxle for instance, to find out first what's causing that difference you've noticed.
