So they're standard offset, just very wide? What size tyres are you running on them!? I'm guessing you don't carry many passengers as they look in the photos like you'd have rubbing issues. :)

PS: I've always read it's non standard (wider) offsets that kill the wheel bearings- through the extra "leverage" force on the bearings. I've never read anything suggesting the rim diameter increasing can cause it?

Wow! The 265mm width must look aggressive from behind? Do you have any pictures of the rear with the tyres visible?

PS: The standard wheel offset is +50mm.
