    track question,urgent

    Hey everyone.I have just rented a trailer and am about to pull out of town to go on a road trip to pick up my first early s, I am very excited.My urgent question is this, when they talk about the track on a car is this inside wheel measurements or outside to outside, I am not sure wether this will fit on the trailer or not.Thanks for the info in advance

    It's common for 'track' to be the outside-to-outside measurement…

    However, if you're trailer width is close, ask them for an outside-to-outside measurement… It could be just wider wheels and tires may 'put you on, or over the edge'…

    Hope this helps,

    Track is middle of wheel to middle of wheel. Or measure the inside of the left wheel to the outside of the right wheel (or vv).

    Roblav is of course correct...

    Hopefully flatjay, in common usage or direct definition, got his track and butt on the trailer...

    You out there? ... you get the car home?
