so for the best handling running the half offsets are best? or are their larger offsets that dont follow the rules...I ask because i like to play at the track but no official racing so being within the rules is really pointless
On your truck the half offsets will work just great, there is no real performance advantage to using 1/2 inch hubs and zero offset wheels unless you have a set of tires on zero offset wheels that are the right tire for your track conditions, then you would want to run the wider hubs, otherwise than that there is no other advantage.

i bought a pair of 2+ wheelbase hubs, with aka city blocks 0 offset is that ok?
will that stress the rear hub bearings more? i dont race at roar events anyways just club racing.
The +2 hubs just add 2 mm to the track width of the truck and are intended to be used with the 1/2 inch offset wheels. Your truck will be more narrow than stock with the zero offset wheels. The hubs should not wear out your hub bearings any quicker but only time will tell.
