Sierras are 38, Escort 15 to 18 depends who you ask! (who cares about 3mm anyway  )

Appologies... seems I was wrong. Thinking about it, mine uses Escort front, Sierra rear os I used Escort offset, I just assumed the rear were the
same.

Cheers Marcus, knew they were different, couldn't remember by how much!
Sorted, can get brackets drawn for the grasser rear beam now!
3mm will make no odds, just need the rear track no narrower than the front!

thanks folks, about 20mm difference will be accurate enough for me, just as long as I make the rear track across wheel flanges between 40 and 70mm
wider than the front (where the escy wheels go) it will be fine!
