Any input on this would be appreciated.
The street version of the SLC has a rear track around 62", and front is 64.5" . This is with using the assumption the ends of the wheels are flush with the body, hence the distance from the end of the wheels should be the same as the width of the car. 74(width of car) - 12 (width of one wheel) = 62" (rear)
Now the race version uses 14" wheels in the rear and 12" in the front, would this decrease the track width (again with assumption the wheels are flush with the body), and would be as follows:
Rear = 60" (74 - 14)
Front = 62" (74 - 12)
1. With this in mind, would this change in track width affect the handling characteristics, as well as the overall suspension setup, meaning the geometry is compromised a bit?
2. To keep the track widths the same on the front and rear with 14" rear/ 12" front, wouldn't you need to widen the rear a total of 2", and the front 2.5", yes, this means you would need to widen the car unless you want the tires sticking out about an inch on each side.
