In the immediate category, you just changed how the wheels transfer forces into the suspension... effectively messing up the factory suspension geometry setup. You probably won't notice anything while driving around town, but if you're in tune with your car (and cars in general) you'll feel it when pushing it past 8/10th.

Long term you're putting more stress on the hub bearings, wheel studs and other suspension components. Depending on how everything is designed it might shorten the life of some of those components.

If you're mostly cruising around and the roads are nice and smooth where you live, it might not actually matter that much... but if you're hooning your Camaro daily in the northeast, bushings and bearings will become a regular maintenance item.
