I have seen the car you are refering to in person, however, I did not look at the 'issue' you are refering to. It is however common for the cars to appear to be out of whack. Some manufacturers, like mine, took the molds right off an original car. As CS put it, these cars where beat out by hand under a bridge. There will variences. Looking at the rear of my car, the car looks like it is sitting about an inch low on the drivers side. But if you measure the frame, the car is level. Never measured the tire clearence, but I would imagine that there are similar issues.

Four wheel alignment just to be sure. I guess it would be possible to mount the body so that is was not square but not sure how you would fix it.

275/60 is a very tall tire. A 295/50 may be better for you.
