whichever you decide on buy 2 fronts.
The shape of the rear is flatter with the 3" fenders.

to get the standard rear to work you would have to space it out a couple inches.
We went with the front on the rear and it worked out looking like stock with our 1.1/4" widened fenders. The holes are in the same spot.

you can section in more length to the rear bumper... this is what i did to the europa style bumpers i have.
I added 11 inches total, i used TWO bumpers to make one. I cut each bumper a few inches (5.5" from center) and welded the two together, dressed the welds and some body work...done. Make sure you get two alike bumpers .two new ones, no mixing new from old or different makes together. the profiles are always off a hair. you can use more or less bumper depending on how you want it to look. i just have the ends meet up 1/2" from the fenders edges.
