Re: Wheel offset
5.4" backspace on a 18x10 wheel is pretty much dead centerline, as in 0mm offset. Your two numbers can't live in the same world.

Re: Wheel offset
The key here is that advertised width is approximately 1" smaller than the actual overall width. Backspace measurement is taken from the outside edge of wheel where the overall width is referenced. You've got to talk in terms of overall width if you're going to go back and forth between backspace and offsets. About the only thing the advertised width is useful for is choosing a tire size.
They could make it simpler. But they don't.

Re: Wheel offset
But to answer your question, no they wont. Not enough backspacing.
