77s Narrow or Wide?

Hello everyone I am completely new to the forums. I have a 77 930 I bought 5 years ago and recently I acquired a 77 911s. The S is completely original except for a reprint. It's the worst paint job I have just about seen. The car was originally bronze and was repainted white. It's at a friends and is about to go through a complete repaint. I wanted to go backdated RSR. I've got the fenders and quarters and it getting ready to get cut soon. I'm starting to have reservations on widening it though. Why would you do stay Narrow or go wide?

I would leave it alone if it's all original just my opinion. One day you will be kicking yourself for hacking up an original 911.

I had the same internal struggle with my 76, flares? IROC/RSR/SCRS.... Its a matter of personal taste, but I ultimately decided to stay skinny and go sleeper/hotrod. Jason

Keeping it narrow. Decided if I wanted a wider car just sell the one I have now then look for the right wide car. Plus I already have one so nothing wrong with one of each. Thank you for the replies.
