i've seen it done, so I can confirm it is possible... it also looks wicked
I personally would never do it as I expect it would have the ride quality of a three legged donkey and handle just as well

there is not too much work involved as long as you get the correct offset.

my mate had 18s on his s2 , wich was s1 kitted, taking the lips bk on the arches and the right offset is key ,
spoke to the owner of that s1 at the north yorks meet last year , said that he didnt have full lock , but taht as there 198s its a worthy sacrifice lol
dose look even better in the flesh too
