Hi.
If not too much trouble, could someone please measure the distance between the rear wheels on their 6 for me??. I know it's in the handbook, but wondered whether the track on the rear of a Gti6 is wider??. What i'm after exactly is the distance centre of tyre to other centre of tyre, if you know what i mean. Looking forward to your findings.
Thanks for your time in advance. Jim.

Wider than the lesser model 306's!. With all respect, i just wanted a measurement for a standard 306 gti6, with standard 195/55's, no spacers fitted or anything like that please. Can see where you're coming from with the above. If brake disc to brake disc would be easier?, then that measurement please. Just to elaborate a little. Fitted a replacement beam on my 6, excellent low mileage example came of a 2.0 xsi, had all the right bits, the bigger red TB's, calipers, discs etc etc. Thing is, and may be an optical illusion but it looks narrower when looking at it. It may be that i was so used to seeing the completely knackered beam, i'm just not used to seeing it how it should be!. Anyway if someone could help with the measurement??, that would be great. Cheers rallyeash for the comments . Been there and done it with the 205's, had about 6 before.

Thanks Welshpug, Would that even be the earlier Ph1 models??, say a 1996.

That's good to know, thanks Welshpug. Just looked like the rear wheels were sitting in a little further than they should be. Hopefully it will be ok??. .

Old beam was definitely buggered mate!! . I know this is a common prob with these cars, especially high mileagers!. The wheels/tyres were actually rubbing on the plastic inner wing liners at the top. On closer inspection, right hand side arm had actually collapsed completely , still drove relatively well though!. This would have explained the car slightly drifting to the right of it's own accord.
