If a person were to measure on the drivers side from the fender vertical line to the tire vertical line and it sticks out 1/2" towards the driver side, then am i correct in thinking that on the passenger side the measurement would be 1/2" inside the fender line? If so the axle still needs to be moved 1/2" towards the passenger side to get the axle lined up.You are correct In your terminology, but it’s more common for people to measure how much tire sticks out of a fender on each side, and make a conclusion about it rather than thinking like you did. Most people will see a driver side tire sticking out 1/2” farther than the passenger side, and conclude that the axle is off 1/2”, which it isn’t.
What you are describing is if you were measuring a picture frome between two walls or columns. If one side measured 5" and the other side measured 6" (a 1" difference), in this case yes, you would move the picture frame 1/2" to get it centered between the walls/column. I guess if you had your jeep parked in your garage doorway and measured from the wheel to the garage door way on each side... then yes your method/point of view would be correct. But in terms of the axle being off center...my way (i think) makes more sense.
