In case you hadn't noticed the sidewalls of tyres are FLEXIBLE, this is so that they contour to the road surface, at any angle you can get on a cossie rear beam.
I know full well what the std beam does, just saying for prices it may be possible to isntead get struts which are a millions miles better in every way than a beam will ever be.
The beam with the modded mount points imo is expensive for what it is, but is about as much as you can do if keeping the beam arrangement.
Undersquat there is even more force pushing the WHOLE width of the tyre into the road.
Read some good chassus books such as chassis & suspension engineering, by Geoffrey Howard, even has piccies of the twin tyre wheels, now they would seriously brought the modern car forward in grip terms!!
