Default Offset CABs with M3 spindles?

When changing over to E36 M3 spindles and brakes, is it also important to switch over to offset CABs?

My car has already been swapped so I am trying to get it sorted out before I put on my new struts. I am going to look for part numbers on the spindles (kingpins) tomorrow. Previous owner stated that it was the late M3 setup that was used, but I'll double check.

Thanks

Just figured out that I have a late M3 (96+) spindle on the right side and an early one on the left. Really confused now.

CABs are centered. Right wheel definitely sits forward.

Looks like the left side is correct.

Any insight?

For a track car I like the wheel a little farther forward. I would get a later one to match the right.
