Default Front hub relative to rear hub...

Does anyone know the location of the front hubs with respect to the rear hubs? In other words, are the front and rear hubs in line with each other when looking directly from the front or rear of the car? And if not, what is the measurement of the offset between the them? Specifically I'm interested in the surface of the hub in contact with the wheel.

This is pretty much just out if curiosity as its something I was never sure of with our cars.

Is that track or hub to hub?

Add the difference in wheel offsets to those numbers.

From what wheel, the 17's , 18's or track 18's? All will give you a different numbers, also its a bit more complex than that doing it your way, you also have to account for wheel width coming off the track measurement to get hub to hub.

Track width should be measured from the tires centerlines, wheel widths wouldn't matter.

The rears had +30 and +33 wheels though, so it depends on which model the track width is advertised off.

Track with would be outer edge of tire to outer edge of tire (maybe wheel ) with track width and if you know what wheel and offset you can get the hub to hub measurement

Track width is standardized as centerline to centerline, it's not measured the way you're describing.
