If you have coilovers it might be the way the wheels are cambered. If you are talking about how much each wheel sticks out it might be this. I have the same problem. Well I wouldnt call it a problem since it was set up that way and I have normal smooth driving. With mine the left wheel "sinks?" in more than the right one.
