Question what should i know before attempting a widebody mod

i have a very specific idea in mind for how i want my BMW to come out but including a engine and trans swap, a wide body kit , and mods needed to make it track ready (subframe work like sway bars or angle kit and such) and i figure i should handle everything that touches the road or is on the underside of the car first before i mess with mechanics. i want to know if i should start planning ahead for the widebody side of the project and buy mods accordingly for the future installation of the widebody, by that i mean should i start the measures for certain mods like tires and suspension as if i already had the widebody on it or should i just do the suspension work now and fix anything that arises when i widebody it, if any. im not too sure how most of the stuff works yet since ive been into cars for about a year and half but im trying to learn alot daily.
TL;DR how should i mod my cars suspension and tires if i expect to widebody it in the future and what should i expect when i do

How to weld, and that the car will be effectively worthless except as a donor parts car after doing so if you ever wanted to sell it.

For a fraction of the price of stock or a lightly modified e9x.
