How does large spacers affect wheel bearing life?

accomplishes the same result as deep dish wheels with the right offset.

tire is in the same place no matter no spacaers with a deep dish wheel, or 2" of spacers with a wheel with a big offset...

hard to explain...... (ill make a drawing)

alright. pretend gray is the HUB. Red is a SPACER and the blue is the RIM

top image = no spacer but DEEP dish wheel

bottom = big spacers but no dish on the wheel


end result is the same..... i think



nevermind. i think i change my mind. spacers effectively make a LARGER lever arm, and thus amplify the loads on the bearng?????

I had been told that adding spacers has a bad thing as it would increase the load on the bearing and lead to premature wear.

Is this a real issue or just a old wives tale?
