if you get the et correct it wont put much more stress on the bearings as the wheel is in the same place in relation to the hub even if the point of pressure is slightly further away
its when the wheel ends up miles from the hub spacing standard wheels you start having issues and even then youll be suprised at how far you need to go to break bearings

the main problem is people who run long as fuck bolts that causes problems

im running ford et wheels on my saxo with 26mm spacers and a good stud conversion ive had no issues at all
