Let's see.....worse handling, more lag (acceleration and stopping), potential taller gearing (depending on tire size), stiffer ride, and more straight line stability.

on normal 18 and 20 set ups you wouldnt even notice any of these things!
of coarse if you do like jangy and put the rear rims up front and run 275s and 295s you will get better handling. but normal set ups no dfference.
