Wheel Offset

I just purchased a set of MB design Gunner 5 wheels and it has a -6 mm offset. The damn thing sticks out 2" from stock. The wheel is 1/2" wider (MB wheel is 8" wide ans the stock is 7 1/2" wide).

The wheel was to go on a 05 limited and I am not sure if the offset is too much to create undo stress on suspension, & steering.

Anyone out there with comments or suggestions?!?!?!?!

I'm running stock 16s (+44 offset) with 38mm spacers, which makes them +6 offset, effectively. No issues so far, but I've only been using them for a few months.
