Agreed. Every one is quick to say if you run wheel spacers or flipped rims you will eat wheel bearings but has any one actually had experience with this? However i would be interested i knowing how king pin bearings stand up to really big offset, be it through rims, wheel spacer or both. I run wheel spacers and will have flipped rims in the near future but my car is a trailer queen so bearing life is not a big issue. I do have a problem with chewing out inner axle seals which i guess is from incorrect pre load on my king pin bearings and the large offset i am running. I also carry spare bearing, wheel and kingpin, whenever i take the car out.
Most who run massive offset or wheel spacers don't do huge road kms, so bearing life may be reduced, but in off-road kms it could mean they last a year or two.
