Hi All,

Does anyone know the rear of the 850 is further in that the front?

Or point me in the right direction.

Rear track is narrower than the front, iirc you can use C70 rear axle to even it up.

From another thread it looks like you'd want to do 15mm unless someone else has some input.

I tried to find the spec on it ,,, nothing. Anyone know what the difference front to back is ??

wellspacedout.com are cheap for spacers, but i gave up on them as they never replied to any of my messages. Ended up with H&R, expensive but very well made

I have to save that picture. I just took it for granted it was "square". Those measurements are in CMs. So ,,, if you wanted to space the rears out to even the fronts you would need spacers that are 25mm ea.

i'm using 25mm's, but your going to need to do some arch work to get them on. I've got 6degrees of camber & still had to remove the lip so they don't catch
