    Hi I'm new to the tacoma world I have a 2015 tacoma sr5 4x4 access cab I want to put wheels on more than likely 16x7 or 16x8 but I want to run a offset that won't put stress on the front bearing. So I wouldnt be replacing them every 40,000 miles from a - wheel offset

    The further out the wheels sit the more strain on your wheel bearings. A very common fitment Tacoma owners opt for is 16"x8" with 0mm offset and 4.5" back spacing. It will wear your bearings prematurely, but you'll get a lot more than 40k out of them. Just how much more quickly they're wear out idk, but I'd guess around 10% less life.
