Try trading your front 5zigens with someone with a diff offset?
Should be easy since most people would love to trade their smaller wheels for bigger wheels so they can slap em' on the rear.

There is nothing you can do to make the wheel tuck under the vehicle further. All you can do is modify the body for the new width or get a new wheel. Probably much easier just to get a wheel that fits correctly.
