Disadvantages would be intense manual labor, especially if you have wider tires than stock. I would go with a wheel that has better grip if you were to do this, even with my 195 wide tires on a 2200-2300 pound car, its alot of work turning that wheel, although your alignment will also have a factor in how hard it is to turn, plus I already have about a 50/50 distribution of weight.

Put your key in the ignition and just turn the wheel a bit to see what I mean.
