    wheel track with factory 17" rims

    Anyone with a D3/4 with factory 17" rims care to throw up a measurement for me? I'm after the distance between the inner wheel rims (when mounted of couse ) I've closely matched (well as close as you can get with off the shelf rims) the wheel track on my camper and I will be getting hold of some factory 17" rims soon and just wanted to check and see if theres much difference in wheel track from the aftermarket rims I currently have

    No real difference, I have factory 17s on my D4, only difference is rim width, my D4 factory rims are 18 x 8", my D3 factory rims are 17 x 7" both have the same offset.

    OK I went and looked, more because I wanted to know, they are the same front and rear.

    Front is 1605 D3 and D4

    Rear is 1612 D3 and D4


    Only difference is the turning circle

    D3 is 11,5

    D4 is 11.8

    is the official wheel track measurements from the centre point of the rim?

    My measurements with my current rims from the inside rim edge to the inside rim edge is 1399mm

    Well roughly that puts my wheel track currently as per redback's figures so factory rims shouldn't change it from what it already is then. My camper's wheel track is 20mm narrower which is bugger all

    I did, my point is that I have aftermarket rims on currently and I wasn't sure what the offset of them is so they could have had a different track width to standard rims
