Increasing front "track" via longer A-arms??, Anyone here BTDT???.... Options

[Mueller]

Due to my large offset wheels (40mm), the wheel/tire combo sits too far inboard.

I can run spacers, but they would have to be at least 1 inch which is acceptable, the GT look cars run this amount, the problem is that I have odd-ball size studs that I cannot not find longer studs than I already have
(12mm-1.5 X 50mm??) I refuse to run bolt on spacers, so the studs would have to be longer.

So it seems easier (hahahaha) to just widen a set of A-arms to accomplish this. I know it has been done in the past (Yellow 3.6 powered 914 GT in Excellence a few years back, East Coast I think)

The only issue I can think of right now that could cause problems is whether or not the turbo tie rods have enough adjustibility to safely widen the track since the struts would be moved outboard ~1" per side.

Mike if you do away with the stock cross member and come up witha billet peice you can lengthen the lower a-arms but you will have to get coilovers. This is not a solution to your problem though. You would also need to analyze the camber curves as you change the rate of camber gain or loss as well as a few other things.

AS far as the studs go, I am running a 14mm stud in the back I think it came from some CHevy truck. I am using Porsche Aluminum lug nuts on the back. YOu should be able to find on in the right length. Are you still trying to run the phone dials?
