When I got mine engineered years ago, had to get a letter from Holden stating the track for A9X, it came back from them at 1510mm. Or that could have been including the additional allowed 25mm?

 

Do you still have the letter?

 

Would it be possible to scan it for us?

 

I'd love to have a definitive specification, especially if it is that wide!

From the LX Torana Owner's Manual:

 

S & SL (w/RTS) front track is 54.9" with a 4.5JJ13 rim

So adding twice the rim offset of +0.75" to that gives us a BUF measurement of 56.4" or 1382mm

 

SL/R & SS (w/RTS) front track is 55.3" with a 5.5JJ13 rim

So adding twice the rim offset of +1.25" to that gives us a BUF measurement of 57.8" or 1468mm

 

Should the BUF measurements be different between an SL and an SL/R, I doubt it, unless ride-height makes a huge difference? But if the suspension measures up the same between models, shouldn't the rims with lower offset value have a greater track figure, not a lessor one?

 

From memory, those who have actually measured come in around the 1468mm figure, hopefully someone can confirm?
