You're going to loose the speakers in their reverberant field and early reflections eitting that far from the speakers, especially relative to the distance between them and the front + side walls, especially with them facing straight ahead so high frequencies are being attenuated.

Moving the speakers so the front baffles are the larger of 4' or half the distance to you off the front wall would be a start, as would aiming the tweeters at you, and moving the speakers closer together so they're farther from the walls with an equilateral triangle being a nice starting point.

For instance, I sit about 7 1/2' from each of my speakers and have them 5' off the front wall.

Some compromises will be called for if the drivers don't integrate well at that distance.
