HGT Track Width

[skate2create]

Just a quick one...

on the rear of the HGT, are the back wheels the same track as the front or are the fronts sticking out more than the rear

I'm going to space out my front wheels to match the track of the HGT (1470) as currently it sits at 1440 and the wheels look too "tucked under" at the front with the HGT arches.
So 15mm hubcentric spacer on each side.

rear is narrower than the front and narrower than on all the other models Dan. Odd.

The HGT specific wheel will have a small effect on the rear track width.

re

as above, i gues hgt has alloys that are a slightly different offset? or just wider so maybe the track is smaller to compensate

so if I space all 4 wheels out to 1470 it shouldn't be an issue?

It might be, the HGT is not spaced, the front hubs are further apart.
