Wheel Offset = Bearing falure??

I was just wondering if anyone has has bearing falure from some strange offsets. I just put a set of RPF1's front offset of +18 (rim is +38 and spacer is 20mm) rear is +38.

Thanks guys.

No don't think its because of the wheel offsets but Evo Wheel bearing do go out if you track the car a bit. I know a few friends that have replaced a few on there cars. Which one went out?

I just had ALL the bearings go out on me. I think it was beacause the previous owner had the coilovers set up all funny and uneven allaround. Before I got the car the previous owner had to take the car in to get the front passanger wheel bearing changed. After getting my t-case pulled out and fixed my shop noticed that they had a spacer on that same side, they took it off. I dont think that contributed to that same side bearing going out again though.

I don't know if it has anything to do with coilovers. But if you pull the axle out and let the car sit on the wheels. That is the fastest way to mess up a wheel bearing. Never pull axles and let the car sit on it's wheels.
