st: Multicollinearity in a fixed effects model

Hi All
I am running the following model in Stata 11.2:
xtreg y x1 x2 x3 yr*, fe cluster(firm)
I have an unbalanced dataset with 13,251 observations across 1,197 firms and over 1 to 20 years.
Stata does not drop any variables due to collinearity.
My question is, can I "ignore" the effects of multicollinearity given my sample size and the fact that no variables are dropped?
If not, and I have to investigate potential multicollinearity problems, how would I go about doing this? I read in a previous post that I could generate dummies to control for the fixed effects and then run -regress, vif-. However, given the large N and small T nature of my sample I'm not sure this would be appropriate.
Thanks in advance
James
