Default Can New Rims Equal Problems?

On my old truck, after I put after market rims on the truck I seemed to blow out wheel barrings every few months. Has anyone else ran into this problem?

Yea it can happen if you dont pay attention to the offset and back spacing of the rim..

Is there an overall good setting or does it vary from truck to truck?

It can vary but you would want to try and keep it somewhat close to factory.. Im no expert on the matter.. Maybe someone with a little more experience will chime in...

Sounds like you went for some serious negative offset (makes 'em stick out more) or you have spacers, too.
