Topband: Inverted V shaped like a W

I wonder how messed up an antenna for 160 would be if the center was supported at 55' and the legs had to be bent like a letter W in order to get the required length for 1/2 wave at 1.9 mhz.  The ends would wind up being only 20' from the ground.  Would it be better to feed it with 450 ohm line and use the tuner?  
If my neighbor would just let me run 1 leg over her property I would not have to bend the legs at all.  then 55 at center 30 at ends.
