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.

I knew about the offset (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

The problem is that I was focusing the offset issue for the rear of the car.......

It's no big deal, right now I can safely run .500" spacers on the front with these studs and have plenty of threads for the lug nuts. I have no fitment problems, it's more of an aestetics issue.

With the new hubs, I can always have a pair made that are 1" wider for my application.

Also, the new /4 5 lug hubs can be made 1" wider as well...just the way the factory made the 930 front hubs.
This way someone could do the GT flares, and fill up the wheel wells without running the "standard" 1" spacer.

don't worry, I had no real plans of mod'ing my A-arms, just thinking outloud (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
