Who has DEEP DISH OFFSET wheels on an FFR Cobra?
I'm currently helping a friend on his FFR Cobra, looking at various modification options to reconfigure the car to accommodate WIDE DEEP DISH OFFSET (but fitted & tucked In) wheels; using something like 9" wide front wheels and 10-12" wide rear wheels with 275 wide front tires and 315 or 335 wide tires in the rear. I've never done this on an FFR myself but have done so on other cars. Maybe others here have been through this already. Looking for the opposite of the front-wheel drive look. 
Question:
Looking for anyone here on CC who has achieved this successfully (no hack jobs) and maintained good handling characteristics with any of the three options below, with photos.
A. Frame modifications to pull the control arm pickup points inward?, or
B. Narrowed axles and control arms?, or
C. Front & Rear fender flares?
Particularly interested in option A. Thanks in advance for your secrets.
Photos anyone?
