With a lower offset and/or spacer, for a wider track, how does it affect the wheel bearings? Particularly front wheel offset, i.e. running a wheel with offset of +10, 15, 20 etc...

Whether street driven or track, I'm wondering about wear and longevity of the bearing.

Thoughts?

Negative offsets effect the wheel bearings much more; wouldn’t be concerned about premature bearing failure.
Guy’s are racing TT Z’s with 600+ whp & 11” wheels on all 4 corners...don’t hear of bearing failure
