could be made to work, but would need to be pretty much undriveably low, and theyre too narrow for a proper stretched tyre euro look.
unless you buy 2 sets and find someone willing to chop them about to make one wide set

It is a horrendous idea in my personal opinion too but the guy wants to try it. Let it be, because no matter what we say they will do it anyway lol.

No, it did one have some on it before my ownership. It has 17" Style 42s now which I think suit it quite well...
She did look the nuts with the Borbets on though
