Would other modifications be needed to make the Arms work? Would widening the track upset the cars balance as far as the way it handles?

well I think they are solely bolt in, but don't quote me on that.

and about the track, the track will of course change the car's balance, but depending on the setup it may not even be a lot.

By using the wider track, wider rims, and tires the rear will gain some stablility and traction thus you may lose some of the inherit over steer that a bug has. This may be good or bad depending on how you drive.

Best bet would be to decide on the wheels and brakes you want to use. If like may people here you choose porsche for both well the trailing arms are probably a good thing (for the above reasons). Then drive it. See how it handles, then adjust. This can be done with sway bars and tire pressure to fine tune. But, ultimately the increase in stablity is a good thing for higher speeds, in the corners though it really depends on the driver. I prefer over steer to under.
