Possible problem with DIY Tire Rotation?
Hey guys I did my tire rotation today. What I did was jack the truck up on jack stands on all four corners and took all the wheels/tires off. Then I cleaned up the wheels and while they were drying I got out the torque wrench. I put the Right front wheel on the left back. The left front wheel on the back right wheel. Tightened them all up and torqued them all to 150ft-lbs. But now after my work has been done, I noticed my back wheels look really weird like it looks like they lean into the wheel well. Idk if my mind and sight are just playing tricks on me or what idk? But I really do feel like something is not right they just look funny to me. In the pictures you might not be able to see it as good as I can in person. Please tell me if there is something I missed or a possible problem? Thanks guys!

Besides that fact one looks like it is sitting out farther. Which is probably just the angle of the photo. They look fine to me. Definitely if you didn't use a star pattern I would redo it all. Using a star pattern ensures that on lug didn't tighten all the way down and bing the tire up at an angle. Losses all of the then tight back down in two steps. Using a star pattern for both go to about 90 ftlbs then after all lugs are at that start the finish torque always using star pattern. If that doesn't work you might want to get it checked of your really worried. Could be a bent rim. Unlikely though.

My wheels are -12mm. I bet that's it because these things just look off to me. I'll get to it in the mornin and undo them all and then redo it using star pattern for everything.
