No. The track width in front and rear will be different, with the rear being wider. That's the way my 56 is.

Randy is correct, most vehicles have a wider rear end than the front. One exception is for those who like the shortened rear ends, but they compensate with over sized really wide tires. You do want the rear tires/ wheels to tuck inside the rear fenders and not rub on the bed or frame.
