Guess it depends on where you measure wheel track from - whether it is the inside, centre or outside of the wheel.
My calcs where done for the outside of the wheel.

Ahhh i see, I was going with the RTA terminology and they say new wheel track needs to be no more than 25mm increase, but they measure from centre of wheels. See page 2.
http://www.rta.nsw.gov.au/registrati...vsi09_rev4.pdf So using their terminology, only offset matters yeah?

not really. back spacing and wheel widths changes offsets and centreline tracking.

But remember that the change of offset applies to both sides of the car

if going from the centre of a wheel for tracking, then 5.5 +45 to 7.0 +35, it's 20mm wider tracking. so well within RTA +26mm guidelines for wheels.

A hot air gun (hair drier if you're desperate)
Something to lift the edge of the tint I.E. a sharp knife Some form of solvent to clean up the glue Lots of patience The side windows are easy enough but the back window has the added complexity of the defog elements. Basicly it's heat, peal, break the tint, heat peal clean... rince and repeat. I've seen people remove the film from an entire window in one easy movement then spend an hour on the next one.

Yeah, you take those off when you fit a strut brace. Also, you want the little white dot on your front struts to point to the front corners of the car [C spot position]. ie: white dot on front left strut points to front left corner, etc... Give me a yell if need a hand with this.

Okay what does the c pos in the tops change though, this was mounted back the way it was at purchase.
and thanks for the offer, only thing giving us trouble was the swaybar link nuts seemed to have fused to the bolt and made out of playdough, go them off and replaced anyway. on the last strut then the brace and a test run before an alignment tommoz.
