If anything is stressing bearings, it's the UN-FREAKING-BELIEVABLY heavy wheels and tires these come with. If you haven't felt the heft of a 20x11 cast BMW wheel (especially the 333M) and a run flat Bridgestone, I suggest you pick one up before you start worrying about spacer stress. I also suggest you put on a back brace first.

LOL I did and can tell you're right, those things are heavy, but certainly appreciate everyone's comments while trying to make up my mind around the spacers
