By moving the wheel 20mm to the outside of the car you are changing a few things:
(1) Scrub radius: Under braking, the front wheels will tend to react stronger to any grooves in the pavement and you will need to make more corrections to brake straight.
(2) Wheel rate (spring rate at the wheel) is reduced a little (softer). Since the tire is extended 20mm out, it has a little more leverage on the suspension.
(3) It is harder on the front hub bearings, but will take a while to show up.
I think it is a high price to pay for your tires to be more flush with the fender, but I am old.
