Regarding fenders, I don't mind modifying them via rolling, shaving, or adding (+welding) methods to fit a wider stance IF it will make the car more stable and less twitchy to drive.

If I find a concave wheel with a super low-offset, that should push the wheel out further and perhaps help me avoid wheel spacers right?

inTgr8r, because you seem knowledgeable in this area, what would you do besides your previously mentioned upgrades to eliminate that side-to-side twitch from the car's narrow track width?
I think my definition of twitch & yours might be a little different
Control is definitely desirable & I find it achievable without getting into fender widening etc.

very good points above. ^
I'm running poly bushings on my FCABs and RTABs.
They made a huge difference on how the car communicates and definitely improves the dynamic toe situation in the rear.
