I'd check all drivetrain bushings - rear subframe, diff mounts, transmission and shifter mounts and engine mounts. All of these contribute to the rear being squarely.

They run the buy 3 get 1 free deal all the time, no need to feel pressured. When I ordered my ECF last year I emailed them to check date codes and they asked me if I needed a code for the deal.

I would agree that wheel size isn't different enough to explain the issue (unless they are extremely heavy wheels or something). Do you have the full alignment printout, especially the "before"?

Don't forget that the bolts holding the aluminum skid plate that have a 12 mm head are the right size to thread into the rotors to push them off the hub.
