Stop picking on the poor guy, lol. Why is the rub caused? And does it wear anything out?

Default RE: spacers

The rub is caused because the wheel is pushed further away from the steering pivot. This causes a wider arch of travel so you may have trouble with rubs at the front and back of the wheel well.

And there WILL be added stress on the bearings. Some bearings may last longer than others, but trust me in the fact that it will increase the stress and may cause the bearings to fail prematurely. The further out you go, the higher the increase in stress on the bearings.

Yep, couldn´t agree more..I had spacers on my truck and had to replace the bearings a few months later. Didn´t know if it was the spacers, but $400 dollars later I am not going to risk it again.
