The wheels have the same backspacing on them, and they're only 1" wider than the '08-'10's. which can equate to about half an inch on either side of the wheel. .5"x2=1" for both wheels in track width difference. Still leaving .5" unaccounted for. Where did that come from? Witchcraft?
I'm not comparing the GD and GH chassis, merely saying the GR has far more inboard AND outboard room than all previous models.

Explain how you can fit 18x9.5 +44 with 265's and no roll on a GD (you can't) like you can on a GR?

Explain how you can also fit 18x9.5 +44 with 265's on a GD with stock suspension (you can't) like you can on a GR?

I'm not saying they moved ANYTHING inboard, merely saying there is FAR more room on BOTH sides of the wheels than previous subaru models.

Your assertion of "its all the same/relative" is inaccurate, because its not.
