front wheels.

Post by hotrodder13 »

i was just wondering why the front wheels on my car stick out furthur then the back ones. ive always noticed this but when i put bigger wheels on the back are flush with the edge of the wing and the front stick out about an inch. is there any thing i can do apart from buy wider wings.

thanks tom

Don't know either! I thought front and rear track was much the same. Are all the new wheels same width and off-set ?

I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure the rear arches are a little wider than the front wings.

Lowering doesn't make it wider.

Have you tried measuring them to check they are the same tracks.
