Ok, you said you're new to this and I'm guessing you're fairly young so I'm going to try to just help you understand why it doesn't work that way.

If you're going to go to a wide body, and especially when lowered (and you're going to want to lower it with the widebody) then you're oging to have to cut your fenders. A LOT. In order to get your wheels/tires to fill the widebody (why bother widebody if you're not going to make use of it) you're going to have the tires either under or completely interfering with the space where the stock fenders would have been. If they are under but not interfering then think about what happens when you hit a bump. Your tire is going to go up. What happens if the tire goes up and hits the fender that you didn't want to cut? very bad things happen. Cut tire, damaged fender, probably damge your expensive wheels, possibly crash.

To do it right so that you have the proper clearance, structure, and sealed up so it won't rust out on you takes a lot of cutting, a lot of welding, and then sealant and paint.
