Offset rims

[95Escahoe]

So I recently ditched the stock rims and got a set of aftermarket ones, there still 16x7 but the offset is -16 I think, is that a bad offset to run? I like the stance, its pretty much even with the fender flare

As long as its not stickin way out it should be fine. might get a little dirt up the side but other than that there shouldnt be a problem.

Reverse offset wheels are harder on your wheel bearings....just sayin'

That's the one thing I was thinking about after looking around online

Yup, a little increased wear on the unitized bearings due to loading on one edge more than the other.

Now, we're not looking at them failing next week. It cuts service life off your bearings is all.

For example, they may wear out in 50,000 miles instead of 100,000. Those are only number picked out of the air to illustrate a point, not actual estimates. The point is they won't last as long as if they were properly loaded.

If you're ok with wearing them out a bit sooner than they normally would, don't worry about it.
