Yeh its not very much, less then an inch id say.
If you need to space the wheels out to stop rubbing (im guessing because your cars slammed  ) be careful that the edge of the tyres dont stick out from the arches (mot failure).
A quick and easy way to increase your arch length by about an inch is to fit arch extensions. Worked for me.
