So you need to the track wider on the front than the back or at the worst the same.

Stick with what you have, but heavier bars for now.

My 911 track car's rear tires are 2.5" wider than the fronts making the rear track about 5" wider. The bug starts out with a 1" wider front track so with the proposed 6" added to the rear both cars would have the same stance. This is a great set up for the 911 so I can't see why it wouldn't be for the bug. But hey, I don't know.
