If the rear had a wider track than the front>>>
Would the front end push too much in turns?
Thinking about 20mm rear spacers and 10mm fronts?
Would it effect the handling ina negative way?
TIA...P.S. have a 19mm sway on the 225.

Spec sheet shows that rear track is .7" less than front on quattro-->
so if you want to "line up" front and rear, you'd need approx 8mm more spacer for each rear wheel than fronts...doubt 10mm per wheel would pose any handling quirks. I ran 8mms, rear only, on my Jetta and the handling of that car was incredibly improved with susp upgrades. I also had the 8's on before upgrades and never a single problem. Mk4 rear tracks are .8" less than fronts.

Well (answer) . . .
Normally the wider stance would cause the car to understeer, or push into corners. However, your Neuspeed rear bar compensates for this already. Going a little wider stance in the rear would probably still give you decent at the limit handling.
By the way, I don't know that I'd go with spacers in the front after looking at your pictures.
