As well as coming loose they will fook ya wheel bearings on a regular basis too. Better off wiv wider tyres an adjust steering stops as menshuned.

im running 265/75 16 bronco dirt devil tyres and they did scrub badly. ive adjusted the lock stops today it nolonger cathces but a 3 point turn would be more like 33 lol
 
Depends who you talk to. LR used forward control rims IIb that were really really offset mabe not 30 mm but probably close to it and the vehicles they were fitted too had a higher load rating than 110's so the rims can take it. It depends on what rims you are fitting to the spacers. If you fitted normal LWB rims to them you should be ok but if you fit the wide rims and the spacers then yes granted wheel bearings would take more strain. Jai
