Can how you drive have a factor, I'd say yes as well, but I'll go back to that 99.99999% of the people aren't going to get anywhere close to crossing that line.

If we're talking about the X5 M, or any of the M Sport variations of the E70, I would not worry too much about the "stress" we are applying to the rotating assembly of these vehicles by adding a 20mm or 15mm spacer.
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.
