Baffled as to the cause, unless the frame rail or bracket are bent. At this point I would just redrill the axle side bracket to pull the axle back over enough to clear the coil.
Ill take a look at work, there may be a couple stock or stockish XJs lying around there I can look at and measure for ya. I will also try to get a frame rail and mount measurement.Any idea on what the 'normal' clearance is between the coil and the trackbar bracket?
At the end of the day the wheels will effect nothing with regards to the axle itself being centered. Especially since you issue is not a tire obviously sticking out more than another but your coil vs trackbar bracket. Wheels don't make any difference there

Unless they are being used to determine center and there is something off about them. That's why you should use a fixed spot on the axle itself to determine center. Unit bearing being larger, axle shaft flange difference, wheel spacing, wheel material thickness could all make it appear off center. I think we're looking at an inch off so minor changes can add up there.
You may want to take some measurements to verify the frame rail is not tweaked. I am having difficulty understanding how a stock track bar on a lifted vehicle would push the axle to the passenger side, unless something is tweaked. Why is the drivers side door a different color than the rest of the vehicle?
Sorry, didn't have a chance yesterday, I'll try again today.Yeah, that would be excellent. I'll be able to double check both my measurements against yours. I bought the wheels as a set, but I can double check them too.
