Default Saphire Offset Differences on Rear?

Anyone know know the offset of the rear of a saphire? both 2wd Cosworth, 4x4 Cosworth and poverty spec?

on my passenger side the tyre had been rubbing on the coilover spring platform and wore thru the tyre

the driver side one had not.

noth spring platforms were the same height!

this happened on track by the way, so its POSSIBLE that it was caused by that, but it looks like it'd been rubbing since day 1... no way could a few miles on track kill a tyre that badly!

any ideas?

i'm running esccos rims with 215/40/16 rubber and Gaz Coilovers. I assume i've got povery spec hubs (they all the same?) but i knoe ive deffo got 4x4 style driveshafts and 4x4 cos rear brakes
