not sure if its just the pictures, but the n/s/f wheel looks as if it has excessive positive camber.

I see what you mean, will probably have to take wheels off tomorrow again and I will look into that. I thinking it may be the picture or the wheels not quite facing straight forward.

Were the pictures taken after the front was dropped of the jack? If so then it needs to be driven to settle the suspension back down.

On another positive note the tyres are Pirelli P Zero Asimmetrico which look like they cost over £130 each. For the price I have paid for the wheels I think I have done well!

Yes they were. I also checked the pressures and have done them correctly now. Will still check again tomorrow.

In that case just take it up the road and back and then check the wheel position again, you'll find it'll be normal.

Another question - are Mark 2 alloys wider tham Mark 1 alloys? As the tyres are the same but I compared the sets and they were fatter.

I drove to the garage and put some air in but just been outside to check but my fronts are turned slightly and it's getting dark so can't tell properly.
