i'm pretty sure matt or mick from m&m engineering ran 1" -ve offset on one of the zook buggys. not sure how well the bearings lasted though.

mine are 8" rims with offset change of 65mm, and flipped, too.. from my experience my bearings are still lasting the same amount of time. They stuff up quick in mud anyway.
I'd recommend less offset, as more work is needed for clearance of body n chassis on turning etc.
Handling has obviously changed, so drive accordingly
