Handling upgrade...what parts?
Update on this one. I installed 18x10's with 295/35/18's on my Duster with the 54 15/16" wide B body rear end. I did cut the quarter lip by about a 1/4", but it looks like things are going to fit without any rubbing. Absolutely, positively as wide as you can go without a mini-tub on a car that sits somewhat low in the back. Anything bigger would hit the wheel tubs or quarters on the outside with any significant travel.
18x10's with 38mm offset, or 7" backspace.
To run 17x9's I would stick with my previous recommendation, about 6.2-6.8" of backspace or 30-45mm offset. You can get away with a little more than that in either direction, but there's a lot of options between 30-45mm offset.
