3.2 Carrera Track width ( difference front to back?)

Ran a quick forum search but did not find anything. Looking for the difference in track width from front to back on an 86 3.2 Carrera. Just trying to make sure the box is square around my car for a string alignment.

w/ 6ET36 and 7 ET23.3 wheels
front is 1372mm
rear is 1380mm

w/ 7ET23.3 and 8 ET10.6
1397.4
1405.4

w/ 7 ET13.3 and 9 ET15
1397.4
1396.6


These are all +/- a few mm depending on static ride height as there is some track width variation correlated to height

Track width is measured from the centerline if a wheel transversely to the centerline of the opposite wheel on that end of the car
