This is the way they all are. Like I said in the rant thread, I rarely just go out and jump somebody.@CarMichael Angelo, I've got nothing for you. I'm actually curious on what you would have to say. These aren't the guys I was referring to. Let em have it!
I doubt its that...You all say that I poke the bear? I can imagine Mike going through Post Withdraws after reading this one
Also, if you guys can please PLEASE help me with fitment, tires, and wheels.
I want to do a widebody with some nice thick tires. Since I'm going with the 04 IRS swap set up and 94 front spindles, I don't know which way to go with the rims.
WIll I need spacers to pull it off? OR what?
The terms 'wide body' and 'spacers' in reference to the same project means that nobody bothered to to their homework.
No... You should not go through all the hassle and expense of doing a widebody and still use spacers. Is the widebody something you've actually looked into or is something shiny that you saw before?
Damn good question.The terms 'wide body' and 'spacers' in reference to the same project means that nobody bothered to to their homework.

Damn good question.
I only decided I wanted to do a widebody or fender flares for this build a week ago. As I said b4, I am completely new to building cars; which is why Steve suggested I come here.
I'm taking this thing in stages, but this damn virus mess has me stuck at home with nothing to do, so I'm pushing up my time frame a ton.
Flares like this?
Chicane23 Mustang Fox Body Fender Flares Complete Set 1979-1993
The flares are resistant to impacts common in wheel-to-wheel racing and provide an extra 2-inches of wheel-well space to allow for wider tires.www.chicane23.com
Nothing comes easy for me.. You should have been there when Steve was helping me install my DD EFI. Poor man was on the phone with me for 3 hours.It takes some research to do a "wide body" you have to pick the correct wheel size and offset etc. I run a IRS fender flares and 18x10 front and rear with 275s. Not as easy to do it as you would think.
Respect!I think you need to start with the basics:
Suspension
Engine and drive-train
Electrical
Fuel and Air Delivery
The moment you start hacking up a car in the way necessary to accommodation a widebody, you might as well call the wrecker to pull that turd out of the yard. This isn't something you're going to "'work out" over the internet.
Jesus...
Don't you have a job to... nevermind
What Noobz was saying was that You have to do the research. I realize that a lot of reading, and having to comb through dozens of previous threads from several different websites is way harder than getting on here and demanding that people help you to save you from “quitting“,Nothing comes easy for me..

AND NO! I do not like the look of those flares. It looks incomplete to me, but them tires, tho.....I think you need to start with the basics:

I understand where you are coming from, however, that was nowhere near my intent. I was referred here by Steve and he suggested I ask my questions here.What Noobz was saying was that You have to do the research. I realize that a lot of reading, and having to comb through dozens of previous threads from several different websites is way harder than getting on here and demanding that people help you to save you from “quitting“,but like you’ve already said...You now have a lot of time on your hands.
Respect!
So, here was my original plan:
=> Get the car running correctly on the Mega Squirt = CHECK
=> Fix all the loose ends: Mechanical issues, Electrical Issues etc = In Progress
=> Upgrade the Suspension = In Progress
=> Maximize the engine performance Naturally Aspirated = N/A
=> Turbo Charge or Super Charge = N/A
=> Fabricate a Widebody/Fender Flares = N/A
So, I am jumping around a bit as far as questions.
