I plan to keep a reasonable offset for the majority of time but on hard tracks run wheel spacers for the stability.

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.

those rims look insane, i want a set,

Our comp car at work runs 18x8.5 rims with an offset of like 95 percent,

Those rims are 17x9's with -114mm offset

that works out at basically 100 percent
our centers are welded to the out lip of the rim, it almost makes it 100mm so bit over 96 percent,
will hopefully ad another 2 inchs to the width and make them 10 inchs wide

Where to u get them centres from, i want a set of 15x8s with like a neg 25 but using that centre
