Sounds like your camber is off. I'd take it in for an alignment.

After installing my wheels & tires over the weekend I noticed that they are, for lack of a better way of saying in, leaning inward more at the top of the wheel & tire than at the bottom. Reminds of a older style lowered vehicle. But mine, as far as I know, still has the stock suspension. As I didn't notice any thing that apeared to be not OEM. The wheels are tight against the rotor "hats" (that's what I call them) and everything appears to be flush. The lug nuts that came with the setup were tapered, and I made sure I tightened them correctly in a criss-cross fashion, the only thing was the hubcentric rings that wre supposed to come with the wheels are on back order and expected to be a week or two out before I can get them. It is visually noticable to me and I put a level on it just to verify.
The rears are more noticable than the fronts. The setup is just about what the 2006 NBs run with Sarasotas, 17x7.5 with 38 OS, same tire size.
Specs on my wheel/tire combo are:
Wheels: 17x8 with 35mm OS
Tires: 225-45-17
My NB: 2005 TDI with 50.6k miles.
Any thoughts or help will be appreciated

There is some negative camber from the factory.
I've found a reputable foreign auto place locally that will do a 4-wheel alignment on my NB
