Don't worry about the bearings, they won't be an issue.

The only issue is that they won't fit under 'standard' arches and you'll need to trim the front of the wing.

Or buy MPI wings, as they can accomodate 13x6's as standard.

Is there such a thing as an MPI wing that has the modded arch? I was lead to believe that the wings were standard but modified in the factory.
