Default 4.5 BS wheels and wheel spacers??
Would this hurt anything over time? The wheels have 4.5" BS and i have 1.5" spacers on there now. I like the look of how it sticks out, but IDK if it will hurt the wheel bearings or anything. It is 3" BS total i believe.

well, sure it will cause your wheel bearings to wear out a little faster than but not enough to be too concerning. besides, the wider stance will help give you a lower c.o.g.
