To me when you put a replacement after market front end into your vehicle the front track should be the same as the rear or very close. Not tucked way under the fenders like you put a VW front end in the car.
That way when you buy wheels and tires you only need one spare.
Just MHO.

I've never used the same size tire/wheel front & rear so I go w/the correct size 'spare' for the front (if I even have a spare). If it's needed on the rear, it's treated like a temporary spare to enable me to get to the next location for proper repair.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....
Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
