Nah, no problem with the bearings.  Until your offset is so huge that you
look like a low-rider homie-g dope-ride with the 10" wheels sticking a foot
out of the fender well, you're fine :-).

The problem is with fitment.  They will be placed further outward than
stock, so your wheels will get closer to the fender lip.  You likely will be
fine, but it is not optimal.

Fitment.

Actually, I *think* they are T3/Ghia offset.  That way the wider rims get
tucked under the fenders better.  Although, I could be wrong.
