Thanks in advance for your orientation.
Nothing wrong with the F113 front end, it's about the race rules.

If your local track allow you to run 200mm width F1 car, you can use stock F113 front end.

But, if the rule says 190mm or 180mm max, you can't use the F113 front end because it's 200mm width.

You can use F104 front end to change the width to 180mm.

Rear width is depends on what tire you are using. The rear width will be 200mm with F103 tires, 180mm with F104 tires.

3racing will make 180mm front end parts soon.

Thanks.
