10.5" All around?

I'm looking to do something slightly unique and since I live on an Island it's a big thing to be "The only one on the Island" with something. I was looking at some wheels at a shop and one of the guys said they've been wanting to put 10.5" width wheels all around on a Z or G instead of doing a staggered set up like is always done.

Basically thinking of trying this to get some huge lips all around. Thoughts and comments?

Edit: Going on an 03 Coupe with a moderate drop.

I think it wouldn't look good. It would make the front end awkward-looking and out of proportion but that's just my opinion.

You're going to need a lot more than a moderate drop to fit 10.5 all around with 6" lips.

Like a 3" or more drop with excessive camber. The offsets are going to be atleast a -10mm, unless they're fake wheels with curved spokes. You'll need over -4 degrees all around with a 225/235 tire and pulled fenders.
