Default Wheel spacers?

Hi guys,

I was wondering if there was any cons for running wheel spacers IE more stress on the wheel bearing, I heard that's one of the problems.

Thanks

Two main issues I can think of. Shorter amount of thread engaged on each wheel nut, so more likely to be overstressed. And the centre of the wheel is no longer around the pivot point of the steering axis, so you'll get more 'pull' and the wheel when hitting bumps.
