Yep, seen it before by several of the road race guys. Most use a 17 x 11 +50mm offset both in the front and rear with a spacer in the front so they can rotate their tires. I wouldn't do it myself but to each his own.

I would not want to drive that in the rain! 275's and 315's are bad enough!

Yea I saw a pic of a T/A a few months back with the same thing, suppose to be good for auto X, but the tires stick out in the front more than the rear. Seems like a good idea just doesnt look good in my opinion. But hey its your car do what you want!
