I recently had my car re-painted after too many issues with the last job and I noticed my front passenger tire sticks out a little bit past the arch. I consulted past pictures and it did that since day 1 as well. my driver side tire is lined up with the arch, and the front mounting holes are lined up as well. I vaguely recall reading out this issue a long time ago, but don't remember what the resolution was?

Usually you end up bending the frames that the front of the body mount to sideways. Harder to do w/ the body on and all the rad aluminum in but possible. Might also need to change the shim washers at the rocker panel mounts. Or, if yours is a MkIV, you might need to slot the holes in the body at the rocker panels so the body can move a little.

MK3. Oh well, guess i'm living with it - not going to tweak the frame after all the gaps/aluminum/etc.... fits perfectly minus this one point.
