Difference between right and left roadway on D4 2014

On my D4 2014, measuring the distance between the edge of the front wheels and the edge of the mudguards, I found that the right front wheel is slightly more internal (less than one cm) than the left one.
Explained betters, while the left wheel is practically "a thread" of the mudguard, the right one is more internal, as if the roadway on that side was slightly narrower.
Seeing the photos, the thing is quite evident.

I want to clarify that my D4 is perfect have never been involved in accident, so I don't think it depends on differences, albeit minimal, in the shape of the mudguards.

Also, the camber of right front wheel is absolutely the same of the right one, around 1,5 negative degrees.

I understand that is a real strange thing, but like you can see on photos, that is it.

Have you got any ideas on the causes?

I'd read this in the Italian section … I wondered if the wheels, whilst looking the same, are actually identical or not ? could one be a copy with different offset ?

You couldtry swaping the two from wheels around to see what that does to the problem.
