There are a few guys around town who have those stupid looking wheels on their trucks. The wheels stick out 4 or 5 inches from the correct location which puts a huge amount of stress on the wheel bearings. Tire shops should know better than this but some of it could be self installed by guys buying rims on-line and just bolting them on at home.
