Nobody sane is going to fight a corporate lawyer over wheel bearings for having spacers (besides, just the consultation fee would probably pay for them), so at the end you'd lose regardless.

Some people feel they can win an argument regardless of how crazy that is, just like debate class in high school, so I'm bowing out of this discussion to avoid a pissing contest. Each owner can take the risk he wants. Have a nice weekend man.

Absolutely true; that's why it's always ideal to keep the same relative offset (from center of the wheel). However, a wheel spacer jumps at you, while wheel offset doesn't. Same analogy with a CAI or just a racing filter inside stock airbox. Take care.
