[V8] Rear Suspension Alignment Q

After installing my new Avus 17x8 wheels and 255/40s I noticed an issue with the rear alignment.  I have only driven this car a few hunder miles since aquired.  The left rear tire to front sheetmetal clearance is smaller than the right side.  Left 7/8" and right 1-3/8" clearance.
 
I think it could be caused by the car transporter company.  I was not there when they cinched the vehicle to the trailer carrier.  They were not the brightest light bulds on the planet.  The guy was swearing with my wife when she asked him questions about the delivery.  As you know they will move cars from location to location on the trailer depending on where deliveries dictate.  I'm going to lift the vehicle and look over the suspension for signs of metal stresses and bare metal where they would have chained the car.  I think that will show what is the issue.  At last resort I may loosen the entire subframe and retorque the entire assembly.
 
Anyone have ideas on this? Has anyone seen this type of alignment problem (Other than the car transporter company incompetence)?
