change the wheel bearings now or later?
I just installed four 2" wheel adapters on the T/A to fit the SLP wheels I have. I know they are more stress on the wheel bearings, so should I change them now for new ones or wait till later and see how the car goes with the current ones?

If they arent making any noise now, I would just make sure the nut is tight enough and then change them at your next brake job.

a bit messy and (maybe) unnecessary, but if its been a while, i'd at least inspect them and repack them with grease.

And if the new wheels dont stick out any farther than the old ones, I wouldnt think its any more stress.
