How much width does the widebody add?

It's either 35 or 50mm but I may have to add fenders to it. I like the J's but not sure how over fenders will look added to a widebody. I will have to play it as it goes. The widebody will be delivered tomorrow. I just made the delivery appointment with the shipping company.

So, Everyone has evaluated the tires and come to the conclusion that I am some sort of meat fanatic, while this is true I have chosen the tire sizes for a reason. I will lay out some specs for the build to explain.
Goal weight for the car is 2380 lbs(with cage).
Estimated specs for the current engine. 425-450 hp and 430-450 tq.
It will more than likely have a SC on it in the next year or so and be at 650ish HP. The car is being built for track days and Autox. The track and Autox set up is 18x10.5 et 37 with 315/30/18 Hoosioer A6s Square. The only down side to the project is the width but I feel like it ls a good set up based on other S2ks I have set up with stock power plants.
I know a lot of people feel a LS swap S is blasphemy but this car was in a light wreck and I felt that is was a proper candidate for such a project. It really is just to build a S that fits in the WTF is that category. I had a MY00 prior to this project and I loved the car but wanted something a bit on the radical side just to see how far I could take it and still have usable power.
This the car I had before this project.
