    Do wheel spacers improve off-road performance? I know they stick the tire out further, but would that weaken it?

    I think they put more stress on components like wheel bearings. I'm not a big fan of those. Instead of spacers, how about choosing wheels with a different offset?

    Wheels with a different offset will have the same effect on bearings as spacers.

    Wider offsets and spacers will affect the ability to run in narrow spaces, tho many folks won't notice the difference.
