Difference in F/R track on older/newer MK4 Ibiza's

[MAdMAtt84]

Hi just wondering about this.....?

I had 15mm (x2) spacers on my 53 plate tdi sport and then again on my 06 FR....Been out of the seat scene for a year with my mk2 golf. Just sold it today and once again have an 08 plate TDi FR.

Problem is i cant work out if the rear track on the later ibiza's is still narrorer than the front like on the ealier ones ive had....basically i'm 50/50 on whether i need spacers again?

Can't you just run a tape measure under the car and measure the distance between the outer edges of the tyres ?

With the car on a level surface and front wheels pointing straight ahead, should give you a reasonable idea.

Hi muddy that would be my next plan...maybe i should have formed my question differentely not alot i say makes sense lol

I seem to remember there was 10 or 20mm difference on my TDi Sport.

Speaking to a good friend last night about his fabia vrs, he suggests their is a difference in offset on the older/newer ibiza's wheels.

Only problem mate is where i live the car is on a main road (the parking free for all after work), + the mrs got hit in the arm by a 4x4 last week! so i'll have to find a nice car park
