Css – How can I achieve full bleed within a nested grid?

I want to have the ability to do full bleeds (displaying an item from edge to edge on the viewport) within my grid setup. I would like to have the item with the class full-bleed to span the design-grid and wrapper-grid.

I am open to other ways of constructing the DOM to get this to work, but I would like to keep using grid instead of absolute positioning.

.wrapper-grid {
  display: grid;
  grid-template-columns: 1fr min(65ch, 100%) 1fr;
  row-gap: 1rem;
}

.design-grid {
  display: grid;
  /* I can't have subgrid and declare a new grid */
  /* grid-template-clomns: subgrid; */
  grid-template-columns: repeat(4, 1fr);
  gap: 1rem;
}

.wrapper-grid>* {
  grid-column: 2;
}

.full-bleed {
  grid-column: 1 / -1;
}

.item {
  height: 40px;
  background-color: #f1f1f1;
}
<body class="wrapper-grid">
  <div class="design-grid">
    <div class="item"></div>
    <div class="item"></div>
    <div class="item"></div>
    <div class="item"></div>
    <div class="item full-bleed">This item should go to both edges of the viewport</div>
    <div class="item"></div>
  </div>
</body>

    Here is an idea using margin with some calculation. Also you don’t have to use a nested grid configuration. One grid is enough.

    Related article from my blog to understand the use of margin-inline: https://css-tip.com/center-max-width/

    .wrapper-grid {
  --w: 65ch; /* the max width*/
  
  margin-inline: max(0px, (100vw - var(--w))/2);
}

.design-grid {
  display: grid;
  grid-template-columns: repeat(4, 1fr);
  gap: 1rem;
}

.full-bleed {
  grid-column: 1 / -1;
  /* this one is the opposite of the above to negate it and get the full bleed effect */
  margin-inline: min(0px, (var(--w) - 100vw)/2);
}

.item {
  height: 40px;
  background-color: #f1f1f1;
}
    <body class="wrapper-grid">
  <div class="design-grid">
    <div class="item"></div>
    <div class="item"></div>
    <div class="item"></div>
    <div class="item"></div>
    <div class="item full-bleed">This item should go to both edges of the viewport</div>
    <div class="item"></div>
  </div>
</body>

    And in case you want to keep your nested grid

    .wrapper-grid {
  --w: 65ch; /* the max width*/
  
  display: grid;
  grid-template-columns: 1fr min(var(--w), 100%) 1fr;
  row-gap: 1rem;
}

.design-grid {
  display: grid;
  grid-column: 2;
  grid-template-columns: repeat(4, 1fr);
  gap: 1rem;
}

.full-bleed {
  grid-column: 1 / -1;
  /* this one is the opposite of the above to negate it and get the full bleed effect */
  margin-inline: min(0px, (var(--w) - 100vw)/2);
}

.item {
  height: 40px;
  background-color: #f1f1f1;
}
    <body class="wrapper-grid">
  <div class="design-grid">
    <div class="item"></div>
    <div class="item"></div>
    <div class="item"></div>
    <div class="item"></div>
    <div class="item full-bleed">This item should go to both edges of the viewport</div>
    <div class="item"></div>
  </div>
</body>

    You can design your grid using more columns than the content requires and then adjust the column span on the row that needs to fill the screen width.

    Note: There is probably a lesser method, but hopefully this gets the point across.

    .wrapper-grid {
  margin: 0 auto;
  width: 100%;
}
.design-grid {
  min-height: 200px;
  display: grid;
  grid-auto-columns: 1fr;
  grid-template-areas:
    'r1c1 r1c2 r1c3 r1c4 r1c5 r1c6' 
    'r2c1 r2c2 r2c3 r2c4 r2c5 r2c6'
    'r3c1 r3c2 r3c3 r3c4 r3c5 r3c6';
  grid-gap: .2rem;
}
.item {
  display: flex;
  justify-content: center;
  align-items: center;
  background: cyan;
}
.item:nth-child(1) {grid-area: r1c2;}
.item:nth-child(2) {grid-area: r1c3;}
.item:nth-child(3) {grid-area: r1c4;}
.item:nth-child(4) {grid-area: r1c5;}
.item:nth-child(5) {grid-column: span 6 }
.item:nth-child(6) {grid-area: r3c2;}
    <body class="wrapper-grid">
  <div class="design-grid">
    <div class="item"></div>
    <div class="item"></div>
    <div class="item"></div>
    <div class="item"></div>
    <div class="item full-bleed">This item should go to both edges of the viewport</div>
    <div class="item"></div>
  </div>
</body>
