Hey guys, got a VW Lupo that I will be string aligning

I know and can visually see that rear driver side tyre is slightly further out than the rear left. How would you suggest to tackle this when stringing?

Base the strings to some chassis points?

Am I overthinking this?

Unless you KNOW this is normal for the vehicle, I'd want to make sure it's not the result of accident damage which will skew other readings as well.

Good pointer, but Im certain they leave factory like that

Got a bit carried away during covid and stripped this thing to bare metal underneath to take care of some rust spots and it all looked normal 🤷

Quick google fu reveals its not that uncommon in the car world, especially on VWs
