Default Wheel Track Width

What years have the same track in the front and rear and which ones are wider in the rear?

My alignment isn't coming out quite right.

Interesting question. I didn't know that there were any years in which the width was wider in the back than in the front. There were any number of years and models of C4 in which the rear wheels themselves were wider in the rear than the front.

My 95 has 9.5" on all 4 corners and they line up completely parallel from front to rear.

only ZR1 has 9.5 in front and 11 in the rear. and grand sports

91 or 92 might have started smaller tires in the front than the rear for base cars.

I am looking for the distance from the right wheel hub to the left, not wheel width. I found an alignment article on the board here once that suggested that "later" C-4's were .8 inches wider in the rear than in the front. I need to find out if my 92 fits in that category or not since I am using a measurement fron the center of the wheels to align my toe.

Some other fixed point of reference on the chassis would be good too.

Thanks for the input. My wheels are 9.5 on all corners too.
