The negative's of negative wheel offset - feedback and options

I don't think there's a better truck/ wheel color combo than than what you got right there- looks great.

 

Wasn't there a Timken engineer who crunched some numbers and estimated offset of -10 or more could potential cut bearing life in half.

0 offset seems like the best compromise, in my opinion.

 

But it looks cool.

 

See Taco'09's response in below thread:

here's a screenshot of a "long conversation with a wheel bearing engineer" by Taco'09 from the link in the previous post. I still have a question in regards to wether an aftermarket suspension will change the "ideal offset that Toyota established to center the load of the vehicle over the wheel bearing module". My gut tells me no, but I'm not an engineer.

 

Thanks - I like the look as well, just hoping my bearing don't grande at 20k!
