It will put more pressure on the front end.

I have the offsets,,and can feel a difference. I did get used to it.


havent broken anything yet or even loosened anything,,,,feels tight after 100 hours or so

I enjoy the benefits (way more stable) more than I dislike the drawbacks (watch your wrists).

im not sure how long they have been on mine.. i do know that its very stable and like the benefits.. im just worried about the downside... its either the offset rims or +1 a-arms at a small extra cost BLEH...
