I did a search and didnt see anything. Can somebody confirm that wheel spacers will cause your wheel bearings to wear out faster? I'm looking at a set of 10mm spacers but dont want to destroy the bearings easily.

I doubt it would be much different from changing the offset of your wheels.
But yes, they do cause your bearings and studs to wear faster than stock. Its not a big deal, wheel bearings take a long time to wear out!
