I gave my lorry to Dan Petit to certify,He couldn't find any info on the wheel track at first, After some serious digging between him and the pits they came up with the original measurement and that was 1665 from wheel center to wheel center, Being a commercial vehicle they allowed an extra 50mm taking the maximum width to 1715, with the skinny wheels I came in at 1710 which they passed,
I could have pushed the point with the wide wheels but they wanted substantiated evidence that it would be safe, this required FEA calculations and huge engineers reports with a matching price tag, it was cheaper to buy 4 rims and wheels and get done with it, these I sold an hour after the papers were signed for the same price I bought them for , Although the back was much wider they weren't too phased by it because they figured the 9'diff is indestructible.
Good luck with your venture. it'll be worth it in the end
