It should porbably just slow everything down somewhat, at least in the side to side wieght transfer. However moving each tire out 1" is going to soften the wheel rate of each spring somewhat. Then depending on the motion or lever ratio the suspension/tire has on the spring: every corner may likely be different to how much this softens the rate, so you could be softening corners at different amounts and effecting the spring splits you have side to side front to back and diagonally.

It will also effect the scub on the front susupension and thus the jacking effect from the caster.

Alot of things gong on it would be hard to figure out really what would happen, best thing would be just try it.

Billet i would be moveing the wheels in so i guess it would stiffen it up. This will narrow the car 2inches front and rear .I figured the car would react quicker.

Sorry, I read that backwards (out not in). Maybe I'm dislexic (sp)!
