Default Mounting wheels backwards

Back in the good old days, people would mount their wheels backwards to get a wider wheel base with more offset. I'm thinking of doing that to the S. I think it would look awesome with the wheels stickin way out beyond the fenders. Plus, you see the backside of the wheel with all the rim interior showing so it looks like a race car. What do you guys think???

Bill, just so you're aware, this does not work with AP1 wheels, it only works with AP2 wheels.

A tire shop actually did that to my car on one side. Mounted rear tire to front wheel and install it to the rear, and vice versa.
