do you mean off centre when looking at it inside the wheelarch?
the reason being, some replicas are made with genuine front wings and others are made with copies, some of the copies use original moulds yet others have been modified so that the wheel arch is in more of a natural position for the standard mk5 shell.

Escort cosworths are based on a Sierra chassis so have a longer wheelbase than any other mk5. so any kit with original, or replicas of original wings, will make the front wheels look off centre

how's that?

well some people have gone to the extreme of actually moving the front hub assembly to make it look better, or you could just buy a set of wings altered to fit the standard mk5's wheelbase, i think ESP do this with their kit
