Is there is 2 different widths, Solid and IFS front. The IFS is a shallower ofset rim. So is the wheel track width the same on both? If so, then the IFS diff will be wider if so.

Do some searches on WMS and diff width. Don't take wheel offset into account in your measurements.

how about you do a search and look it up!!!

but if I read my calender pad infront of me I can tell you! as I have searched! which is what you were counting on! and I have written the answers to your question down as I wanted to know the same info!

so I have
NT zook - 49"
wt zook - 52"
hilux - 55.5"

and to put a another in
mq - 58"

I have not got hilux wide track!
there is one in my garage but I cant measure it! I cant read!

there you go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

dont be lazy

Now I need to get back to my beer and the football and stop being a menace on outerlimits!

ashley

ps the ratio of your diffs makes no difference to the width. IE a 4.875 diff is no different to any other! haha
but you will gain alot more strength!
then you can put an sr20det into the little beast!!!!!!!!!

Thanks everyone for the replys.. now all i have to do is change my attitude, and instead of replying in a positive, and friendly manner to other peoples posts when they need help, i must change, and put smart arse remarks in them. Thanks again..

hmmm, seems like your not understanding me.. all i meant by my comment, is no matter who the person, if i can help them out in any way.. i will. If somebody cant find the answer easily they are looking for, i will help them out as much as i can, with out putting in those little smart arse comments. I'm only trying to be a fair dinkum, polite and friendly aussie, something some people obviously have trouble being. If you dont like somebodys qtn, dont answer it!! Thats all i really have to say about that
