I did take track width into consideration when choosing the tire wheel package. My front comes in at 55.25" and the rear at 58" Ron was surprised by this since it is intuitive to think tubbing in the rear would push the track width in significantly. I had to remind him what you all know. My car has a big butt. So more tire to the inside of the fender would have widened the gap in front to rear track. Currently I have 1.75" more TW in the rear which should help free the back end up some even with the 345s.

Rob,

I did incorrectly assume your wider tires in the rear would have narrowed the rear TW. Thanks for clarifying your car is different. You're on the right track that the wider rear TW will free/loosen up the car..

If your measurements are right ... front TW 55.25" & rear at 58" ... the math ... 1.75" more TW in the rear ... doesn't jive. That would be 2.75" more TW in the rear.

Would you please confirm the numbers, so we're talking on the same page ?

Thanks !
