Default How does 2005 Nissan 350Z rim offset affect rear wheel bearings in 2005 Nissan Maxim

I own a 2005 Nissan Maxima SL since 2009 ,Christmas time, with 105.000 km on it (130,000 km today).
Last month I started hearing the humming noise of rear wheel bearings.I checked and noticed that both are noisy and need to be changed(scheduled for this week)
A month ago I also installed winter tires with 2005 Nissan 350 Z OEM rims purchased online.
They have +30 mm offset for front tire rims and +33 mm offset for the rear ones.To make sure that nothing is wrong with that I searched online for 2005 Nissan Maxima SL OEM rims offset spec. to no avail.
I can measure it by myself and compare it to the rim offset of 350Z rims,but still ,I cannot find the meaning of any possible difference and how it will affect new wheel bearing I will install on rear wheel hub.
Can anyone help,please?

Is it ok to install 2005 Nissan 350z tires to 2005 Nissan Maxima SL without compromising the wheel bearing performance and normal wear and tear?
Note that the 350 rear tires are 10mm wider and instead of ratio 50 I used tire with ratio 55 with this rims:

2005 Nissan 350z tires
Front
Size: 17x7.5
Offset: +30mm
Weight: 23.26lbs
Tire: 225/50/17
Rear
Size: 17x8.0
Offset: +33mm
Weight: 24.14lbs
Tire: 235/50/17


2005 Nissan Maxima tires front and rear:
225/55/17 Offset 45mm.

What we have here is :
1-Rear rim offset changes from 33mm to 45 mm
2-rear rim width changes from 225 to 235 mm
3-aspect ratio cganges from 50 to 55.for both tires to match original ones
Will these changes affect wheel bearings?

I just found out that 2005 Nissan Maxima OEM rim offset is 35 mm
I still do not have a proper answer for my dilemma:

Tire: 235/50/17


2005 Nissan Maxima tires front and rear:
225/55/17
Rim 17x7.5
Offset 35mm.

Here is what is changed:
1-Front rim offset changes from 35 mm to 30mm(-5 mm)
1-Rear rim offset changes from 35mm to 33 mm(-2 mm)
2-rear rim width changes from 225 to 235 mm(+10 mm)
3-aspect ratio cganges from 50 to 55 (+5) for both tires to match original ones
Will these changes affect wheel bearings?
