Hi Guys

Just a quick question, on the MK Indy are the front and rear track (width) the same ? or is it wider at the rear?

I'm going to set the tracking with four axle stands and string, and i was hoping it would be an easy job.

many thanks

mines wider at the back. but thats mainly because my rear wheels are 225 and the fronts are 195

When I had mine on the back of a Brian James Minno trailer both sets of tyres just kissed the sides, so without going outside to measure, I'm saying they are the same.

FWIW, the Sierra has 14mm wider at the rear.
Wether thats been built out in the Indy??

many thanks lads

it looks the same but i was not sure.

i'm going to set the tracking putting string lines down each side of the car touching the wheels.

Can you not fit 225 tyres on a wheel with a greater et offset to get them under the arches?

I'm designing my own bodywork, so I will just build the extra width in! otherwise I suppose mk would be the place.

Also my wheels are off a lotus 340r (magnesium mmmmm) So I had to have special hub adaptors made. This gives an offset of about ET38
