Front + Rear Control Arms to Extend Track Width?
Any advice on extending my track width in both, front and rear? Basically, I would like to push my axles outward. I have seen angle kits from drifting companies that offer the ability to extend the front track width up to 75mm on each side and that's fine. However, I am not interested in steering angle, only the extended track width in the front and the rear. Is there something on the market, or would I have to hire a fabricator? Anybody have any experience with this?

I'll assume this = you're building a race car.
If you push the wheels outward, you're going to need custom rear axles as well. Nearly 3" per side is a hell of a lot so with 99% certainty...I think you're going to need to go the custom fabricator route.
Good luck with your build

So I presume you are going with custom and/or modified fenders to accommodate the tires. What are you considering for wheels and tires? Do you have any renderings? It’s gonna look nasty!

I have the Global West upper & lower A-Arms and coilovers. They are great. For rear end, check out Duntov Motors.
