The lifespan of your wheel bearings and some aspects of handling may suffer since the centerline of the wheel will be in a different spot and won’t be applying the weight of your car to the exact center of the wheel bearing. How much these will be affected is beyond me, but a verified suspension engineer from Ford and Tesla explains things in a bit more detail in several articles on suspension and offset at The Autopian.
You can run the calculation yourself like I did at BND Tech Source (can’t link directly since I’m new) and most changes are small, though you may see better traction/braking and worse fuel economy because that’s the unavoidable trade off- friction is always both enemy and friend and bigger tires make more friction. In this case, the tires will be stretched wider than stock.
TL;DR Suspensions and handling are REALLY complicated and staying as close as possible to the stock wheel size is a good idea.
Definitely a classy choice of wheel and one that’s pretty darn close to the stock size! I’ve definitely thought about swapping my 23 XT wheels for the Wilderness wheels because I like the broad spoke design.
