you certainly do not have enough knowledge to execute the whole front and rear wide body yet

1. u dont know which size/width u want
2. u dont know how wide
3. u dont understand offset

with wide fenders you will want atleast 9" wide around. if they are 20mm i would suggest a zero offset, if they are 50mm i would suggest you get 10" wide with a negative offset.
