Mark, With 240K struts you can only reduce the track by only a very small amount i.e. 4.4mm by using late model 200B hubs and the down side is that you have to use the 200B brakes and callipers as well which will diminish your front braking by ~20% or so. Unfortunately the 48mm stuff isn't a mix and match option. Pity about the wheels, I take it they're mags and you can't get the centres moved.

Is there any way to decrease the track width on a 1600 with 240K struts? (i know it sounds stupid) I have some rims with the wrong offset that stick out too far on the front. I would like to be able to tuck them under as they are nice rims!
