Don't weld or weld near bearings. The grease has a bad habit of lighting on fire.

And what is "press fitting"? Could you elaborate.

You need less gearing for 4" wheels though, and they have a lower mass (and therefore moment), so it can save you weight even if you don't put them further out on the frame.
Press fitting refers to having a hole that's just slightly smaller than the diameter of the bearing, so when you press it in, it doesn't come out. It's kind of tough to figure out what size hole to make and then make it accurately (within a few tenths).
