Default Driver tire displacement

Have no idea what is wrong with it but my front driver wheel sticks out farther than the other three tires. It is not flush with the body like the other ones and sticks out about 2 inches from the side. Anyone have any ideas as to why? Please help.

Trackbar. How much is it lifted? I'm guessing it's the stock trackbar, you'll need an adjustable one installed to center the axle.
