Here's mine, 10' wide with FRPP springs.
Tons of clearance...

The offset is the thing to watch out for, if you have a radical drop.
With 1.75, you'll be OK.

I couldn't fit the 10' up front on my car...
The rim touched the LCA and the frame rails, even with spacers, witch I wouldn't run anyway.

I'd have to go with different rims altogether, so I dropped the idea.
