Tried the new drift wheels in the front:
They actually fit under the fenders

No clearance from the strut springs however. I have been thinking of buying something similar to Desmond Regamasters or originals if I can find some at 17x7 +35 range for 4 lug

Bought a 2nd hand JGY flywheel.
53% weight reduction so should have a noticeable impact on engine performance
