IRS makes a 1.25 inch left side clamp on hub. This and a spacer might work for an experiment. I have the long axle and right hand hub coming as well. I agree that a wide pod would be stiffer and better on the left side, but offsets of the wheel to the pod on both sides will be similar with a narrow pod. Anyway what I am looking for in the wider car is that 17% increase in front and rear downforce from the wider body. In theory if you widen front and back you get less lateral weight transfer also. This alone should improve the car. If you just widen the rear you may be changing the relative roll stiffness of the back compared to the front causing the loss in rear cornering traction.
