V8S rear track measurement pleaae

[Top Gear TVR]

Hi, I’m after a Tyre centre to Tyre centre rear wheel measurement to do some comparisons.

Could as many as possible let me know yours and if you’re running oz 8 spoke , other wheels or spacers please. I think it should be 1438mm but want to be certain.

I'm running Oz 8 spoke with spacers and i have 1455mm centre to centre

OZ 8 spokes no spacers 1450mm

Changed your wheels Chris? Too many burnouts?

You should really measure inner rim to inner rim. Too much scope for error trying to find the centre of the tyre.

I can find measurements for the former, as I get quite a few cars done at the alignment place in Southampton, and the first thing he does is measure the track with a telescopic gauge.

Wouldn't that factor in any discrepancy in wheel off-set from one car to another? Would hub face to hub face be the most accurate?

We are getting good data. Thanks to those submitting !

It would be, but it's not practical. As long as you know the offsets of the wheels and whether they've got spacers in etc., rim to rim is the normal way to do it.

And how thick the spacers are

Well, you'd know, wouldn't you?

Except me. I have spacers, can't remember for the life of me what size they are

I’m happy guys -

The wheel centre measurement is much easier to take for my kind volunteers.

I have the data I need: it’s not 1400 but it is c. 1440ish.

Factory s data says 1397, standard S, 1438 V8. This would appear about right in reality, all I needed.

Whilst i'm more than happy to help i can't be bothered to remove the wheels and measure the spacers ......
