Default Wide stance-2.5 backspace?
Alright, I really love the look of an XJ with offset rims. My old 89 had 2" spacers and less than stock backspaced rims (not sure how much) I'm aware of the extra fender trimming/bumpstopping I'll need, and that it might affect bearing wear. Other than that, any reason I shouldn't do it?

It puts a lot of pressure on your wheel bearings, ball joints, and lug studs.
