Looks great.. but eh, you're wheel bearings are going to love you!
I'd get some wider tires if possible and run a slightly smaller spacer, I personally wouldn't use anything more than a 15 mm spacer, just for safety reasons.

Aggressive offsets would generally cause the same stress on wheel bearings. I believe the debate and opinions on that has been beaten to the ground. Wheel bearings are being replaced under warranty tomorrow on all four corners so I'm not worried about it anyway.

so aggressive offsets cause stress to the wheel bearings.. yet a big spacer WON'T? you know it's pretty much the same thing.. that's what was one of the outcomes of that debate, that having a low offset wheel and putting a spacer on is the same kind of stress on the bearings and other parts

I was saying that either one would do the same...I'm not sure what you're trying to say here. Seems like you re-worded what I said...or are you agreeing with me...idk...im tired and hungover

I wonder it that puts more stress on a wheel bearing vs aftermarket wheels with neg offset? I would say it does.

make sure you weld some titanium plates on the bottom of your frame.

So that when your wheels fall off at least you go out with fireworks.
