3 inch wider fenders! Must fill. Porsche suspension.

I've got ultimate engine/suspension choices down, and the cash to do suspension, interior, paint. (engine be saving for awhile)

Now comes to suspension, wheels and tires. The car I'm looking at has 3 inch wider fenders on all 4 corners. I would like to fill those up. As if I'm going to get the authentic porshe look. I've got to have that little burble of a tire/wheel that peaks out from the fender just to say hello!

I'd like to have Max sturts (or front stuts from the same car I get the rear suspension from. Knowing that the 944, 968 cars are 50/50 weight bias, I can expect the differences in rates to me minamal front to rear. I'd have to have my car cornerweighted to see if it will work well.)

I would like to use Porsche wheels. the 968's are the widest I've heard of. But unsprung weight becomes and issue with a car this light using these large porsche brakes and wheels and suspension. Even if I used all 968 stuff (I've been told that is the epitome of the 924, 944, 968 stuff. or 968 turbo stuff. That's not only $ but the differences in the beetle vs the porsche allow the wheels to be properly offset?
