Now that I have lowered my MCS I was wondering about widening the track of my car, and have a few questions...

What size would I be loooking at to nicely feel the arches?
What effects would i feel to the handling with them fitted?
Is it recemmonded to keep the rear wider or the front?

Lots of questions I know, hopefully there are some answers out there!

Have a look at the GTT site - there's a little ditty about the Peugot 1.9 GTI being wider (25 / 30 mm if I remember rightly) at the front than the back - seemingly on the Mini doing this would improve the front grip during cornering.

Worth a look.
