I'm planning on going for some 15" modular steels with 215/75/15 AT's as the first mod, but I'm stuck on what offset the steels would need and if it is better to go for ET 0 and then get spacers at a later date if required?

Spacers and high off set wheels eat wheel and kingpin bearings for lunch. 0 will be fine for starters.

Spacers are the optional way, but either way gives bearing issues.I have 0ET wheels, but do have bulldog 30mm spacers and the wheels are 8" wide jobs too. I get about 3-4000 miles before changing front bearings, rears are another story altogether :laugh:

Offset wheels do add to the menacing/stance look however, if that is the aim.

I would go - 30 to start with you might have to trim the bumper a bit but it's not major

So is there a certain amount of offset that would not affect the bearings too much? Daniel30 above has suggested to go straight to -30 but would that then wreck the bearings as a consequence?
