What does the +.005mm size mean for these bearings?

The +.005mm designation means these bearings are slightly larger than standard size. They are intended for use when the engine's main bearing housings have been machined to this specific larger diameter to achieve proper clearance.

What is the 'pmax black' material?

The 'pmax black' refers to King's advanced tri-metal bearing material. It's part of their racing line, designed to handle higher loads and provide improved durability in performance applications compared to standard bearings.

Are these bearings suitable for a daily driver?

While these are performance bearings, they can be used in daily drivers if the engine is built for enhanced performance or if the original bearings were worn and the journals were machined to this size. For a stock daily driver, standard bearings might be more appropriate unless specific engine modifications are being made.
