The less the wheel sticks out past the hub face the better for the bearings.thank you ..... now curious, isnt ZERO OFFSET the best option for wheel bearing life/durability?
Think about a board sitting on a flat table. As you push the board further past the edge, the more weight there is pulling it down until it tips over and falls.
The same principle applies here. The more wheel/tire that sticks out past the mounting edge, the harder the bearings need to work to keep the wheel spinning true.
Positive offset wheels are ideal in this sense. There's more weight behind the mounting edge than in front. I've only seen people have consistent hub bearing issues when they're running extreme negative offsets.
