Default B3 in need of wheels am i screwed?

I want to get a new set of rims and tires for my B3. What I have now works ok, but they are pretty road rashed. I can't find original B3 wheels anywhere. I have a set of B4 rims but the offset on them is all wrong and only allows you to use one way and one way only of mounting the shocks. Also, because it makes the rear wheelbase shorter than the front, it rolls with any hard cornering. Is there a way to offset these B4 rims so i can correct my wheel base?

I changed my rear hubs to the b4 hubs and changed the cvd's also to the b4 ones. This moves the hubs out further so you can use the b4 wheels and have the same width. I did have to drill the hole for the shaft larger.
