As I mentioned in an earlier post, the wheelbase is to scale. I resize these images using the overall length as reference, not wheel size. The reason I use overall length is that it's a bigger number, so percentages of bigger numbers don't round up or down so much.
If I were to resize and make the wheelbase equal lengths, the MKII's 18" wheels end up becoming the same size as the MK I's 19" wheels. That's clearly not the correct scale, which means I can't use the wheelbase to resize these images to scale. This could mean a couple things:
1) The MKII is on a shorter wheelbase.
2) Something's wrong with either the MKI image or the MKII image, which is throwing something out of proportion.
3) Photoshop somehow fails at scaling.
In addition, the 18" wheels on the MKII look to scale with the 19" to the MK I as it stands, so I think the scaling is pretty close.
