due to the different offset of the scirocco wheels they probably stickout more like 0.6 inch when i did the calculations
You could be right. I'd say they protrude from the arches by about 1/4", but it's difficult to say exactly without the benefit of a stock GTI to hand for comparison. Anyway, I've got used to them now and they appear perfectly 'normal' when I turn around and view the car from a distance.
Anyway, I just spent the whole morning cleaning cars and generally tidying up the garage and I thought it was worth a picture
