Wheel track is the distance between vehicles wheels (side to side). It is measured from the centerline of each wheel to the other. The fitment of wider wheels will often increase the Wheel Track and this can be associated with Offset as well. Increasing the Wheel Track can increase the load on bearings, axles, suspension joints and steering tie rods.
On a passenger vehicle the wheel track must not be increased by more than 25mm beyond the maximum specified by the vehicle manufacturer for that particular model. This means that the offset may not be changed by more than 12.5mm per wheel
