TECHNICALLY... Widebody Hellcats actually have specific fenders, and quarter panels... that are wider than RT fenders and quarters. As well as fender flares, and deeper dish wheels. What makes a car a true widebody, is making the entire body profile wider. Check out Benini.design.studio on Instagram if you want to see a true widebody thirdgen. Its not everyone's cup of tea, but it takes alot of metal and fab work to build a true widebody.

what is this from? Love those wheels and exactly what I was thinking would look more natural with the body shape and lines. Very cool project! The 0 to negative offset vs positive offset in my opinion also looks good on these cars.
