That is a very open-ended question, the stock wheel base is 101"
The shorter the wheel base the more a car will tend to wheelie and turn faster, the longer the wheel base the less it will tend to wheelie and will be more stable at higher speed.
On your car if you just swapped to a set of adjustable control arms, just center the tire as best as possible making sure both side are the same, as long as both sides have the same wheel base you're good and if the wheel base ends up being +/- 1/4" or whatever it ends up being to center the wheel you'll never tell the difference.
