AFAIK that was only for some export-bound models, while JDM kei versions and other international markets retained the narrow track.
But anyway, the current generation has the very same axles for both the JDM kei model and the international versions. The difference is basically wheels offset, and a different bolt pattern to prevent interchangeability between the wider-track wheels of this version and the narrower ones of the kei. Gear ratio is even the same for the AT versions, both for the 660cc turbocharged engine fitted to the kei and the 1.5L naturally-aspirated fitted to the Jimny Sierra.
