Cupra R wider track?

Is it true the cupra r has a wider track than the cupra? Is it just the front or both wheels and how many mm wider?

all the wheels are 3mm more 'offset' making it a 6mm wider track all round

they were offset to clear the brakes.

How are they offset mork? Through the wheels offset or track rod arms? Are the rear brakes the same as cupras...if they are why offset the rears aswell?

the wheel offset is different to the standard ibiza offset

track rod arms? how does that work?

same rear brakes

if the offsets were different front and back then you couldnt use back wheels on the front!
