can bipolar surround speaker on backwall with 5.1

I plan to build a 5.1 Home theater. However, the sidewalls of my living room, one side is window and the other is open space. So, I can't mount the dipolar speakers on the sidewalls. I am thinking to mount a pair of bipolar speakers (PSB imagine S) to the back wall, which is about 4 feet from the back of sofa. Does it work to create a surround evelopement? Or, do I need to change to uni-polar ones?

My living room is 19 *12, and the back wall is at 12 side. In that case, is anyway to get a surround evelopement in my case? If bi-pole or di-pole will cancel their backward/forward with my original idea, would a pair of direct radiate speakers work?

Thanks for everybody feedback. I plan to use PSB synchrony one as the L and R. Synchrony C as the center. Original idea was to use PSB imagine S as the surround speakers at the backwall, but some suggest that I can get platinum S2 with similar price in Audiogon.
In-ceiling speaker was my option. My wife, the CFO, says abolutely no no. She can't stand two "monsters" (to me, they are babies) mounted besides her lovely chandelier

Chadnliz, Queefee and Vicdamone. Thanks for your suggestion. Really appreciate it.
I went to a dealer during weekend and describe the floor plan of my living room. He, too, suggest me to use in-ceiling speakers. If this can't be done, he suggest me to use a pair of uni-polar speaker at back.
