Every wide body kit is different. There is no standard to the minimum or maximum to the amount of width over stock that a wide body kit adds to a vehicle. In order to find the answer to your question, do some research on the specific wide body kit you would like to use and there you will find your answer.

Be careful! If you go too wide in the rear and not do it up front, as well, it could end up looking unbalanced and and back heavy.

A little like this:

I think you can run a Veilside V 3 kit with only the rear fender flares... it might look pretty nifty.
