Hi Rick,
>From 1981 Mazda RX-7 wortkshop manual.
Dimensions:
Tread width (rear) 1,400mm (55in) I think that's from inner edge of tire,
isn't it? Overall car width is 1650mm(65in), and distance between wheel
center and fender line is (rear) 358mm(14in) Hope this helps. Please share
anything else you learn with me, I'm also interested.
Gerard
