Correct me if I am wrong but isn't "wheelbase" defined as the distance between your two front wheels and your two rear wheels? That's how i always thought of it.

When buying a luxury car sometimes, one has the option of choosing between a short wheelbase and a long wheelbase. Usually the car with the long wheelbase is anywhere between 6 in. to a foot longer, because the distance between the front wheels and the rear axel is longer.

I never thought of wheelbase in terms of wide or narrow. Maybe it has a double meaning. Can it also describe the distance between the two front wheels and/or the distance between the two rear wheels?
