I really can't help you with the SB front end questions since I'm building up a standard beetle for racing. Although I can suggest the late 944 aluminum trailing arms for pushing out the rear track. I have 18" X 10" et 65 wheels with no spacers on my chassis with plenty of clearance between the rim and the chassis. Someone else can help you out with the front end questions. Try using the search function also, Your questions might already have been answered.
