Front wheel/axle width vs Rear wheel/axle width

Post

Is there a difference?

Hi all

New to the Mk1 scene…….
I have just fitted a set of RH Cups to my Mk1 tintop.
I cant help noticing that the front wheels protrude from the front wheel arches (not really to my liking) whereas the rears sit quite nicely inline with the rear arches.
Does this mean that the hub widths are different front vs back?


I would appreciate any advice/confirmation of this.

I believe the mk1 has a wider front track, think this affects other more older front wheel drive cars.

The fronts are wider than the rears, and the plain jane golf is different than the GTI.

What do Divorces, Great Coffee, and Car Electrics all have in common?

They all start with GOOD Grounds.
