if you go with something extreme, like 10.5 wide ET15...then i am sure it will create excess stress on the suspension and bearings....to what degree? who knows at this point...i haven't seen anybody report bad suspension parts from going extreme low offsets

if you want to play it safe, go 9.5 wide and something in the mid to high 20 offset...i know its a weak choice, stance wise....but you are playing it safe...if you could careless about breaking suspension parts, by all means...go 10.5 wide ET15 and slam that mofo to the ground...you'll be ballin out of control
