Sounds like a dumb question, don't mean it as an insult at all, but did you get the wheel and the lug nuts on correctly??? Possible that a lug or two bottomed out, or something got between the wheel and the mounting flange on the axle and made it crooked????? Weird to look at, wish I could see things in person sometimes, huh????

Is the car sitting level - sounds dumb but check the frame at the same place on each side.

Are your wheels the unilug type with an elongated lug hole that fits both the Ford and Chebbie pattern? I had trouble with a pair of these, 15x10s with 12" tires plus being wire wheels, several years ago on a Ford 8" diff and had what appears to maybe be the same problem - they hung on the axle flange until they were properly centered - a PITA (also to keep clean) so I got rid of them
