Hey Devo,
The wheels MIGHT have a threaded stud that screws up and down..(it may have a lock nut on the threads),, just loosen the nut and screw the studs inward...If they do not have a threaded stud on the front wheels,,, you might have to raise the rear wheels.. - which in turn.. lowers the front..

What do i do to lower front end? There is way to much space between the tires and wheel wells.

don't go on looks but instead measure the height from the road to the door sills at the front and rear of the car
that will show if the car is actually up at the front
IT could appear high because of smaller diameter wheels fitted to the front increases the guard to wheel clearance in opposite to bigger wheels make the car look lowered as it reduces the clearance
having decided that the wheels are the same all round and the car is actually high at the front, the fix is best carried out by an accredited suspension specialist shop as it may be faulty installation or incorrect parts used previously

3. Remove lower ball joint cotter pin and nut, then loosen ball joint from steering knuckle using tool No. J-29330, or equivalent.

6. Using a 1/8 inch drill, drill pilot holes completely through rivets. Using a 1/2 inch drill, drill final holes through rivets to ensure fitting of new ball joint.
7. Remove ball joint from lower control arm.
8. Assemble new ball joint to lower control arm with bolts provided in service package, Fig.9 . Tighten bolts to specifications.

It depends on exactly which ball joint of the 3 per side your changing, but here are the details.

COMPRESSION LOWER ARM & LATERAL LOWER ARM ASSEMBLIES

1. Loosen compression lower arm ball joint nut. Using steering linkage puller, separate ball joint and
knuckle. Remove nut, bolts and compression lower arm assembly. Remove dust cover.
2. Remove stay. Remove shock absorber lower mounting bolt. Loosen lateral lower arm ball
joint and knuckle nut. Using steering linkage puller, separate ball joint and knuckle. Remove nut, bolt and
lateral lower arm assembly. Remove dust cover.
Inspection
Using preload socket, ensure breakaway torque for compression lower arm ball joint is 4-22 INCH lbs. (0.5-2.5
N.m) for 2000 models. On 2001 models, breakaway torque is 22-54 INCH lbs. (2.5-6.1 N.m). Ensure
breakaway torque for compression lateral lower arm ball joint is 13 INCH lbs. (1.5 N.m). Check compression
lower arm, lateral lower arm, dust covers, and bushings for damage and wear.
Installation
To install, reverse removal procedure. Use NEW ball joint nuts. Lubricate lip and inside of dust cover with
multipurpose lubricant. Using installer, install dust cover. Check front wheel alignment.
UPPER ARM ASSEMBLY
Removal
Using steering linkage puller, loosen upper arm ball joint and knuckle nut. Remove self-locking nut. Remove upper arm and upper arm shaft assembly. Remove dust cover.
Inspection
Using preload socket, ensure breakaway torque for upper arm ball joint is 3-13 INCH lbs. (0.3-1.5 N.m).
Replace upper arm assembly when measured value exceeds specification. Check upper arm, dust cover, and
bushings for damage and wear.
Installation
1. To install, reverse removal procedure. Use NEW self-locking nuts. Lubricate lip and inside of dust cover
with multipurpose lubricant. Using Ball Joint Installer (MB990800), install dust cover.
2. Ensure upper arm shaft assembly is installed at indicated angle. Verify upper arm shaft
assembly installation. Check front wheel alignment.

Once you have the correct arm off and a replacement joint (if available, some are not serviceable and require the arm to be replaced) then you will need a press or a ball joint press to change the joint. Such as

The front right wheel sticks about an inch out from wheel to over head while the other is all inside... i slid onto a side walk in a recent snow day at about 15 mph..

Hi:
I am glad you are safe! You most likely have bent your lower control arm on the front right side. It is what usually bends when your lower wheel slides into a curb. It is about a $150 part, and you need to pay for installation and a front wheel alignment too,

I have a 2003 GTI VR6. When I drive the car with the driver's window open, I can hear periodic sounds from the left front wheel, as if it is rubbing against something on every rotation. I checked the wheel...

I had the same problem on my 2001 gti 1.8T I bought the car used, and it came with an aftermarket suspension. it was lowered about 1.5 inches with 17 inch wheels the plastic gaurds on the inside of the engine bay have now completly worn through and the noise has gone away. wich is nice because the intercooler now gets better air flow with the holes worn in the plastic. you could also try replacing the wheel bearings.
