Post Wrong offset wheels

Other than sticking out like hell and looking stupid, what are some of the other damaging effects of puting a lower offset wheels on a 4th gen F-body?

-alters steering geometry, and handling

-changes loads on springs, ball joints, shocks

-adds massive loads to wheel bearings and other suspension components

-throws gravel and stones up onto the side of the cars..... beaucoups chips.

-violates some state's laws, that require at least some portion of the wheel to be fully covered by the fender.

Probably more, but its late.....
