What kind of guitar? Acoustic or electric? What is your price range? What do you want to play?
Read the stickies in this forum.

Everybody finds it hard to play good, clean chords in the beginning - whether you have fat/thin/long/short/clumsy/graceful fingers. With plenty of practice you will find that unless you have sausages for fingers, anybody can play the guitar. For inspiration, read up on Django Reinhardt - he was a masterful guitar player, and had two mangled/partially paralyzed fingers on his left (fretting) hand! He fought through it and became a famous, highly influential guitarist.

Have a look at a Seagull S6, largest nut width (1.8) that I could find for my fat fingers.
