IS there any reason to be concerned with using + offset on the diff? The diff is under a truck bed trailer. I would like to move the wheels inboard so the track width is less than that of my pickup i pull it with, from what i read this could help tracking.

however, i know that messing with offset coulld put more load on bearings, and if that is something that may be damaging i wouldnt want to do that.

any clearance issues? I would be getting thinner tires and the wheels i have make it flush with the rear of the drum but no further, a tire naturally would move in a tiny bit.

Yes, No, Maybe. Why re-invent the wheel ? Also what about gear ratios. Seems like a lot of messing around for little gain.

Full float = hub supported by 2 bearings
Sem float = 1 bearing

The reason you see **** boy trucks with broke front tires is because it's a single bearing supporting the tire.

Dual bearing axles = they don't give a ****.

**** boy's have given everyone such fear of running offset wheels.

Having the offset narrowing the track will work in your favor. Rock it
