Sorry Ekam, but that's not true. If the Net offset is the same, your wheel bearings don't know if you have a spacer or not (assuming they are quality, and hubcentric). A +25mm offset wheel is effectively the same as a +35mm with a 10mm spacer. Anything that still fits in the stock wheelwells will NOT be enough to affect the wheel bearings.

This isn't true either. A 35mm offset with a 10mm spacer equals 25mm offset

Sorry, I should have checked my example better! That's what I get for posting in a hurry. But the point remains the same.
