Default Fiesta rs turbo

Hi guys, bought the car a couple years ago, absolutely love it. Running 195 chip, beige injectors, hybrid turbo, stainless turbo back exhaust (forget the make) spaz shocks and springs til I can afford coilovers, escort GTi 15's wrapped in toyos.

Got an issue with the n/s/r wheel. Seems to be further inside the arch than the offside. My original thought was the wheels were different offset or width but they are the same. Has anyone had this issue? I've measured the distance from the shock to the drum, width of the drum, shock to the arch and everything seems fine... Really doing my nut in now I've noticed it.
Will get a pic up tomorrow but for now he's a picture from the Haynes breakfast meet in April

had one of these myself in same colour but running escos alloys, the escort gti rims look lost in them wheel arches sadly but remember back in the day many people changing hubs etc which were not quite right which caused this odd wheel positioning and could be the case with yours, also coilovers on these cars unless you buy top end ones with height and dampening ability it will ruin its ride and make it drive nasty
