will these wheels destroy my wheel bearings?

Featured Replies

im looking at these wheels for my wagon (six lug) 15x7 " and they have 4 inches offset....too much? i plan on running 28" tires sooo........? and will this help for clearing the tire rubbing issue since they'll stick out further?

4" offset??

Offset is the distance from the center of the wheel to the plate that goes on the hub. A 4" offset rim (guess it would be negative offset, which means the rm sticks outwards a lot) would have to be at least 8" wide...

 

Do you mean back spacing? a 7" rim with 4" back spacing would have a 12mm positive offset. My 6" rims have a 23mm offset and they work great, just inside the fenders..

i dunno but it would be negative i guess and everybody says its a little hard on the bearings....is this gonna be a problem for a daily driver

How wide are the rims? This is the second most important bit of info after the offset, or backspacing.

 

If they really are 4" negative offset they will kill your bearings pretty fast I would assume.

 

If they are 7" wide with 4" back spacing, means they would have a 75mm offset (pretty normal yota size I think.) They would stick out of the fenders about 2".

Maye not to good on the bearings

yup you pretty much nailed the dimensions of my wheels.

You'll see a lot of guys on here running that type of wheel. Turbone comes to mind with his hatch. I think maybe ask something more like "will these 6 lug rims screw my bearings up" will get you more responses. And if you can get a picture of them, ethat would ne 100% better :)
