Paul you are spot on
I have run front wheel drive wheels on my B. The center line does move
inboard. However, that is all the B has to offer. You cant go outboard
because of the fender. B's do have inboard clearance. I ran this way on
wheels that came off a Honda orginally. It looks nice, but the wheels have
that solid face look, no dish. It handled fine. It opens you up to a huge
selection of wheel options.
