It can be done, you just need to know that your going to have to do a lot of fender work up front for it.

YEP like stated, LOTS of fender modifications would be needed. Just go staggered. I think staggered gives it a cleaner look anyway rather then having a deep dish all the way around. But thats just me, your car, your opinion

squared setup would be sick if aggressive. e.g. 10.5.

also perfect for track setup.

10.5 is a little too aggressive i think, but it would look nice. I feel that the effort to get the end result is to large

I wanted to do it because the vossen rims 10.5 look sick all around ... it doesn't give you the same concave look wit the staggered set....
