RX7 rear end width?
I was wondering if anyone knew the distance between the tires on a 1986 or so RX7 rearend.
I want to build a +442 but I dont know if that will fit.
I found to donor cars for really cheap. I wanted to go a diffrent way but this will be great if it works.
I guess while i'm at it, how do they measure track width? Is it to the center of the tread or the inside of the tire?
Best thing to do for a build....

56.7"
That's measured between the centers of the tread.
Jim McS says on his site somewhere that maybe he should have made it a +3 rather than a +4, because there's very little room for the trailing
arms.
56.7" less 46" for the chassis less 8.1" for half of two 205 tires equals 2.6", or 1.3" per side. Not a lot of room!
Should be OK with rod ends on the trailing arms, though.

Thats not too bad. I'm sure i could build around it.
I found a 86 RX7 with a blown motor for $300, so it might be worth a look!
Thanks man.
