I chose the wider fenders route because I liked the look and I wanted increased track for improved grip. I went overkill for the look, adding 2" front and 3" rear eventhough the wheels (6x16 F, 7x16 R Fuchs) didn't needed it. The drawback of the overkill fender approach is expensive wheel spacers ($330/set). A wider wheel could have been used for about the same added weight as the spacers for less money, but I wanted the Fuchs classic look. The 1.5" and 2.5" spacers I'm getting weigh 3 and 5 lbs each and the wheels are 17 and 18 lbs.
Either way you go, add up the effects to cost, performance and asthetics before you decide.
