I will be having some forged wheels made up for my evolution. The Evo has longer track rod ends. I was hoping someone might know the difference in length of these between the Evo and gtr. The wheel manufacturer has the dimensions for the standard gtr but not for the Evo.

I just need to know the difference in length or the wheel dimensions that are used on the Evo.

the Evo and GTR both are the same, however there is an option for the EVO or GTR to have the longer wishbones.
You will have to ask the factory for the wheel dimensions.. the wheels will be the same, just different offsets and then you can decide if you want to go wider wheel on the inside to give wider tyre and more choice of tyres..

Factory's policy means that they will not supply wheel dimensions or tell me the difference between the standard and wider wishbones.

Great post, FC! The measurements look like original (short) front wishbone specs. I've not seen the factory's new spec long wishbones, but believe they're about 25mm longer than original, which would allow you to adjust the offset from FC's post to suit. Or, you could fit the wishbones, then measure up your car to get the wheel positioning exactly where you want it.
