Default Crazy thought on wheels

hi all, i've recently purchased a set of 4x114 13" Weller steel wheels that were goin cheap & i couldnt resist. problem is, when i tried them on my S12 they didnt clear the brakes

in a moment of insanity / boredom i tried bolting them on back to front & they fit. my imagination started running wild & i thought maybe this could work if i was to weld up & relocate the tyre valve to prevent the caliper from ripping it off then fit some plastic arch extensions to pass an mot???

my only concern is the hub bolts / wheel bearings, would they be able to take the stress? i've not been smoking crack... i've just got too much time on my hands thats all
