Wheel Question Regarding Offset and Backspacing

I have a set of wheels on hold right now because I need to make sure the specs will work as I was told they would. The wheels in question are 18x11 in the rear but I need to know if the offset and backspacing is correct for it not to be too far out or too far in on the fenderwell.

Specs:
18x11
Backspacing: 8 1/8
Offset:41mm

Planned on running either 305-35-18 or 315-30-18. Car has stock suspension.

Yeah, it'll probably be close to sticking out. My 11's in the back are 38.5mm (pretty close to yours) and they stick out on the driver's side, but not passengers...I don't have an adjustable panhard rod. I think your setup will be perfect. What wheels are you getting?

Should be OK, 38 mm offset 11" wide wheels work on the TA, there may need to be some minor mods . . .

50 mm is the max offset to run, so you are in the middle . . .
