right. i need to know. for my special little project i have ongoing. how much wider should the rear track be compared to the front?? thanks. John
Minus 2inches?
(I'm going 1.5 - 1.75 inches wider at the front on my next car)

the same or slightly wider at the back i think? or maybe bigger on the front looking at the tech specs for my car (i never measured. mine is supposed
to be 15mm bigger up front)
why are they bigger on the front?

Either is acceptable
Driven by application, mechanics and aesthetics
Just tried to check t'internet to back up my above suggestion and came across this short Track Width discussion - quite interesting once they
agreed!

I was pretty sure most sports cars have wider rear than front.
Even our donor cars are 1" or so wider rear than front.
The only car I *know* of with wider front is Mclaren F1. And that may be different being mid-engine.
I'm sure there are plenty of others though!
Cheers,

Hi
Surprising how many of the better handling kit car companies use or offer wide front track conversions. Mind it's not just as simple as having
the track wider. It's how you control the weight transfer.
