so, i did some more looking (cause this is a cool idea). you should be able to widen the track up front with the tpc kit. for the back, the control arm is the same part as the front so you can get that from tpc as well. there are two other control arms that would need to be longer, and both are available aftermarket in adjustable format (tarett, top speed) so should be easy enough to get longer versions. the axle spacers that come with the tpc kit for the front could be repurposed to the back to extend your axles there. next step, if serious, would be calls to tpc and tarett. never worked with tpc, but the guy at tarett is excellent to deal with and would most likely enjoy the challenge. of course, 10" is a lot. is that 5" per side? 2" spacer, 2" wheel offset, 1" wide track mebbe?

Thanks! That is some really great information. I like that the front and rear control arms are the same. Very cool! I saw the control arms at Tarett. I assume these are the ones: GT3 Control Arm Kit, 996/997/986/987/981/991

I know 10" of extra body is a lot to attempt. After considering my wheels, I actually need to go 8.5" wider in front and 4.9" in the rear. I really hate to run 2" spacers. I think that would not be great for my bearings. Can I really only get 1" per side on the wide track? If that is the case, I may have to do something really custom. I will eventually give those guys a call. I am serious about doing it but not right now. I have a few other things I need to work out first.
