If it's a street car you'll never take "advantage" of the 87mm wheel. I've built three s375 turbo kits for customers and they have all had great results with the 83mm wheel. Don't over think what doesn't even make sense here...

I got a couple PM's as far as fitment. Pay a professional to build you a manifold. You'll even be surprised how many "professional" turbo kit companies manifolds require you to modify your chassis or motor mounts to fit. Anyway here's a lager frame turbo and the tight area you have to deal with...
