It's basically just going to be for looks and never really see any offroading. Do street miles put that much stress on it that the spindles can't handle that size tire?

You might want to consider upgrading to 3/4 and 1 ton front end parts. most of the obs were swapable. If not your ball joints wont last long at all.
