Also feeler gauged the distance(gap) from the tire(25c) to the chainstays(just to note) and they are: Left side = 1.85mm. Right side = 5.08mm. Difference of 3.23mm

Seems like no matter how we measure things (string method, ruler on bb shell to rim, crank arm to chain stays, or bb shell center/rim with tape) that 3mm difference is clearly evident.
Very good - now you know were you stand and know for sure that it's not right. I hope they take care of you - they should.
