Yes, the stress is bigger on the bearings when you use wider wheels, but if you change the 46 wheels for the §]l* s, the stress is not big enough to cause any premature wear of the bearings. Only if you exceed an offset of 20 less than the original, you can get this effect. The bearings should not have too much problem, the bearings are the same as those in the Beetle, aren't they?
