custom rear, wheelbase ??

ok, im making a custom multilink irs unit, using the hubs brakes, diff and halfshafts from a fc. at the moment i have the complete subframe form a 4 bolt car, and wondered because i plan to use all gxl and t2 compontents when im finished aka the subframe i have now is just layout, so is the wheelbase for the two cars the same or is the subframe completely different,??

id really like to know since im going to be building a completely custom unit, by wheelbase i mean from hub to hub, i ask cause if it is different lengths when i go to put t2 driveshafts halfshafts in there they might not fit since the 4 bolt fcs may have a narrower wheelbase from hub to hub?, thanks any help is greatly apreciated,


thanks
Paul

AFAIK all FCs have the same wheelbase. IIRC the s5s have about an extra inch or two of body length but thats all I know.
