Default Any ideas? Front wheels close to bumper/arch

Wonder if anyone has any idea, I’ve had the car for two years and something I’ve only just noticed is that both the front wheels are close to the front bumper. Anyone have any clue?

I’ve had the wheels off loads of times and I’ve not noticed anything obvious.

are you running spacers? it exaggerates the closeness to the arch edge - mine are the same yet caster etc is within tolerance.

I don’t have spacers but I do have a Superpro caster correction kit fitted. Looking back at pictures of the car it looks as if it was like it before the kit fitted.

they run quite close to arches, as long as you aint scrubbing its nothing to be concerned about.

Google Image for GR STI and you'll see its common

Running more caster will do that. BMW E36 M3 3.2 are the same for example, 3.0 are not like that (I used to own a 3.2)
