In spinner xml, I'm using:

 android:entries="@array/cars"

where cars is list of numeric items.

The spinner automatically align values to left, and I can't find in xml/code how to change it.

You have to use a custom view here to give alignment to the Spinner values. Create a CustomView like this answer has created and add android:gravity to the TextView as right.

UPDATE:

Set the CustomView to your adapter using 

adapter.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.your_custom_created_view);
