Wikipedia's 914 page says the track width of the 1.7 liter 914 is narrower than all other models.
(inches)
914 1.7: 52.6 / 54.1
all other 914: 53.6 / 54.4
1) Is this correct?
2) If this is correct, what is mechanically different? suspension components, hub/knuckle, something else?
I see that the stock wheels are narrower for the 1.7, but the wider wheels of other models would not result in a wider track unless they also had a more negative offset. While this is possible, it would, I expect, be in conflict with the intended suspension geometry. The scrub radius would be increased, affecting steering behavior, among changes of other parameters. I don't think Porsche would do that. Am I wrong?
Thanks to all who reply.
