Measuring up for rack extensions

Probably quite a simple question to answer,

Its obvious to me that i need rack extensions, i have quite an amout of toe in at the minute.

If i measure across the front axle, from the inside of each brake disc across the front, and the inside of each disc across the rear of it, the difference in measurements is 55mm.

Do the rack extensions come in near enough sizes, and then the fine adjustments can be taken up with the track rod end?

Any places reccomended to buy them from or to avoid altogether?

I have some from an mk indy sierra rack.

If they are what you need then you can have them for postage costs.

I used to be indecisive, but now I'm not so sure
