Default wheel bearing wear

ok i am looking at a new set of wheels and i found some i like and they fit no problem but i have been reading some posts and the backspaceing is 0 degrees and stock wheels are positive 6 degrees an my question is i know runing these wheels will wear out my wheel bearings but how quick would this be i am apprentice mechanic so its not too expensive for me to replace them but i only drive 7000 km a year (4300 miles) so how fast would i be replacing wheel bearings

Those rims have an offset of zero which would mean that the back spacing would be somewhere around half of the rim width plus about a 1/4 inch (for the lip of the rim). So if you were looking at the 7 inch wide rim, the back spacing would be somewhere around 3.75".

Obviously it is not ideal and you would have to choose your tire size wisely as to not rub, but they should work.
