Will a regular body kit still fit with wide fenders?

I did a quick serch and didn't come up with anything. I would like to make my s13 a wide body but I don't have the money right now. So my question is, If I buy a body kit now, will it still fit with the wide fenders? I would like 50mm rear and 20mm fronts, I would have the money next winter.

How is it cheaper? So far i found a full body kit for $900 and the 50mm rear, 30mm front fenders are another $700. + to put the rear quarters in will cost more money for body work+paint. I was planing on buyin some paint that was matched to my car and painting the bumpers and side's. then repainting the hole car next year (once the fenders were on).

no fing way. you have to mess up the whole rear end to install wide body.

Dependes on the wide-body kit. If you're going with for example a Chargespeed-type kit / GTP / B-Magic / ICS (wide full front fenders, wide rear fenders add-ons) then you can use them with or without a normal body kit, since the flare part comes back to the stock bodyline near the bottom edge of the car.

If you go with something hardcore like the BN Sports Blisterkit, then that's another story.

^Yashio too I believe. You'll need the whole kit for the lines of the car to flwo and not get cut short.
