I need the width from outside of a tire to outside of the other.

In the rear, this outside edge of tire to outside edge of tire is 77".

Leading edge of the front tire to trailing edge of the rear tire is 133".

(Obviously contact patch to contact patch would be shorter than this.)

Why can't you guys think in European? They need numbers in the metric system.

Esco, 2.54 cm to an inch. The width will be 195.58 cm, length will be 337.82 cm.

Welcome to the club. Frank

Thank you Ralphie for making that hard calculation. Esco, make sure you have some one meter boards (wood) to load it onto the ramps. Be more careful with the REAR valance rather than the front. The front is cheap to replace versus the rear which is very expensive.

Thank for te advise..So can I have the rear height too please:willy
I have to meters ramps to put the car on... I hope it will be ok.
I heard that a tow hook makes the operation a lot easier... Is the GT have one of these??

Last question: I will be 100 times easier for me to take te car back on the road but the ex owner needs these customs plates.. I just wan't to know if I can do some copy of these customs license plates somewhere (he will not use his other car in the same time than me!:banana)

Thank you to all the board

Esco, tow hook is in the front trunk (boot, bonnet) attached to the tire inflator. It attaches to the front grill in the top, driver's side corner. You will see the hole for it when you look. It screws in. Be careful about the winch line you use, becasue it may catch the bumper and do some damage. Don't know the height of the rear diffuser cause I'm not near my car. Frank

All I can add is that I put mine in a covered trailer today and it was eye-wateringly close.

I bought an alll singing and dancing covered trailer, the longest and widest I could find.

Length obviously no problem but the width on those non folding mirrors was millimeter close.

Made it worse the fact that I had to reverse on obviously because of the weight distribution . A rearward winch would have helped.

Still job done.....good luck
