A 0 offset will work. Up to 5.25" backspace is easy, I run 5.5", and with custom dampers you can run 6", or up to a 12" wheel. With the Mariahs, I think it is a 2" flare(50mm), so a 9.5 can fit. You would be better off with a 18x10.5, 0 offset, and a shorter 285-30-18(vs 275-40-17) front. Then you could run a 305-30-18 with a very modest rear flare. alternately, you can run the 18" front, and a 315-35-17 rear. This is a nicely balanced combo. Carl

Carl: Didn't Oblien's have 16 x 12's on the rear and 16 x 10 or were they 11's up front... I forget..

BTW: I TT to Steve a few weeks ago, He's going to run a rotary Miata. Sounds like the B-mod car isn't his deal.. Not sure..
