Both wheelbase and track will be the same as a 4dr KE30 or KE55. The exact track, will be effected by wheel width and offset, so a few slighly different figures can be found. Also note that on a KE30, you have heaps more room at the back and can go a bit wider if you want.
This is my setup: KE55. Complete rear diff assembly from a RA23 Celica. This is about 5 or 10mm wider, so the perfect side. I cut the spring mounts off and welded leaf spring mounts on. I use a LSD center from a early AE86 twincam. I just measured the rear track on my car and its roughly 1290mm. That is with 14 x 6-1/2" wheels, offset -25.
My diff, drum to drum (RA23) is 1233mm.
Standard Ke30 sedan rear track width is 1285mm.
Johnny2TG: Did you measure your diff width from wheel mounting face to wheel mounting face? The reason I ask is because a standard KE55 diff is 1350mm wmf to wmf.
As Johnny2TG suggested the easiest lsd diff would be to fit a celica TA/RA2x diff then get a lsd centre.
