Default Track Width

Hi,
I am ordering a new trailer with the E Track rails.
My 23 Z51 isn't here yet. Does anyone know what the track with is?

I found the specs online but not sure how GM measured it. I need the middle of the tires so that the hold down strap work properly.

Thanks for your help.

Dennis

Track width is measured from the center of one tire to the center of the opposite tire. GM says that's 64.9 / 62.4 rear. (Rear is narrower than front? That doesn't seem right.

Since that's to the center of the tread, you need to add half the width of the tire to each side (or the total width of one tire). Tires are ~ 9.7 inches (F) and 12 inches (R) at the sidewalls. So total width, sidewall to sidewall, is ~ 74.6 inches front, 74.4 inches rear.

Middle of the tread from one side to the other is GM's spec, above.

Since tire and wheels sizes are the same on base and Z-51, your measurements should be the same as a Z-51.

Dennis. If you haven't ordered it yet, you should first check out L track
Works better than ETrack. You should also look for the tie downs.
I had customtiedowns.com make me a set. Very EZ to put on and holds the car perfectly with no load on the suspension.
I use a JimGlow 20' open tilt with 2 8k axles. Kind of overkilll, but it sure looks good going down the road.

I will ask the trailer builder if they can use that, looks like a nice product. I ordered an HD 20' enclosed trailer with 6' driver's side escape door from an Idaho builder. Alaska doesn't have many options available. I needed something strong enough to travel back and forth to warmer weather.

I had it painted to match our motorhome. I have wanted a Corvette for years and this last couple months has been hard waiting and my build was scheduled for this week. but GM had another shut d😭
