Different front and rear track

[Tony]

from my experience wider front track gave better handling in the wet

I think you would be best making the car wider at the front to compensate the extra rear track...longer wishbones perhaps?

Is all this track malarkey going to affect the positioning of your headlights and indicators? I know the headlights on a standard chassis are getting quite close to the front wings on full lock. This is because the light distances are taken from the widest point of the chassis (The rear wings). So your headlights are going to have to be 2 inches closer to the front tyres / wings.

Just something to think about.

If the front track is widened, the wheelbase must be increased proportionally in order to maintain the Ackermann steering geometry.

I think the Roadster already has the standard Sierra front track with a shorter wheelbase, making the front wider will throw it further out of tune.

Personally, if it was me, I would choose rear wheels that gave as little clearance agaisnt the chassis as possible, and I would leave the front end as it is in the book, knowing I could always make some adjustments later if any problems showed up (which I bet they won't).
