Sorry, I didn't explain very well. All (series) Alpines are wider track
front than back, yes.
S5 Alpines have a wider front track than the front track of a S2. ie
with the same wheels & tyres fitted to the front of both a S5 and a S2,
there will be less clearance to the body work on the S5.
Sorry again for the confusion.
Cheers,
Paul.
