@Jose Yes, I know, that's why I hid my answer.
Jose Arnoldo Rodriguez-Carrington (asker) Jul 13, 2009:
Yasutomo,
Thank you for your answer, but wheelbase is "distancia entre ejes", not the distance between the outside face of the wheels on the same axle.

track width

Track width is the distance between the center of the left tire and the center of the right tire where the tires make contact with the road.

While wheelbase is the distance between the traction point of the front tire to the traction point of the rear tire on the same side of the car.

track

I think wheelbase is the distance between front and back.

The entrevia is the length from the outside face of each wheel, left and right. This is "track"
