Yes, the first thing I looked for was leverage on front hub. If he had in fact bolted a DRW backwards on front hub, I would see that as possibly unsafe, the tires contact patch would be outside hub face without support from inner tire.

Looking at what he has actually done, I really do not see issue at all. To me it looks to be in an acceptable range in relation to hub face without adding significant amount of added stress. The tire is close enough to directly below the hub face. He explained the offset change in his opening paragraph.

Looks fine to me. I like the added safety margin of the higher load capacity tires. I am curious how the guy who went to commercial grade tires made out as well.
