My idea was to make up the difference in the fenders which had to be changed anyway. We are talking about 2" on each side. Notice how the Packard's rear fenders bulge out while the Studebaker tapers in at the rear. Making Packard style fenders and using production Packard tail lights would give the required width.

By the mid 50s, Studebakers were noticeably narrower inside, than other low priced cars. A narrow Studebaker interior would be even more unacceptable in a luxury car, even if the outside was puffed up to make the car look wider.
