uhhhh why? not many people if any have done it. biggest ive seen up front is 17x10 i believe from a member on here that road races. had weld RTS all around i believe.
but seriously though, do you really need this? plenty of grip can be had will a smaller rim with 0 mods. for example 17x9 with a 275/40/17 tire

I have! 
17X11 CCWs with a "fourthgen" offset, 2" spacers plus another 1/4" spacer because the wheels barely rub the tie rods.
