As far as wheel adapters go, I'm not a big fan either. However on this setup they could be made thick enough (an inch or more) and machined to be hub centric, even tight on the hub. I would not mind having to use a axle puller slide hammer to get them off.
One thing I really don't like about this is that the wheel centerlines would wind up outboard of the bearing centerlines. That would increase the stress on the wheel bearings substantially because the wheels would be "overhung" so far that the axle would be acting as a lever and putting force GREATER than the weight carried by the wheel on the bearing.

FWD rims with negative offset (lots of backspacing) can compensate for the wheel adaptors...........
Yes, but.... that would be the same as running normal wheels without the spacers- IOW the wheels would be so far inboard that the car would look like one of those early 90's bathtub Caprices. Assuming the wheels would even clear the leaf springs...
