Does it put as much stress on hubs, bearings, and a arms when you reverse your front wheels as opposed to wheel extenders? I know it's not the best thing to do but does it work ok?

Biggest stress is on the tie rods.

not worth it, just buy the extenders cause if you break the tie rods you'll be putting the same (prolly more) money into it to fix it.

You will also bottom out your shocks alot easier if you flip your rims.

wheel extenders and flipped rims or different offset rims all cause the same increased stress on components. If you flip your rims put a new valve stem on the outside so you don't have to remove your tire/rim to add air. It's a pain.
