If you must know, i'm looking for a way to get 185mm cranks with ~160 mm q-factor, 40-27 rings and a mountain-bike-like chainline.

I don't think so. Flipping the spider over will put the outer chainring too close to the crankarm. There'll be no room for a front derailleur. Peter White will know for sure.

Neverthestill... the TA Carmina's will get you the lowest Q you can get.
