Lighter brake package, less rotating weight.

Usually the wheels will go in about an inch to inch and a half, being that there is no hub that needs to mount the wheel the rotor offset is usually reduced. Depends on the spindle also. Normally if you're going with spindle mounts, narrowing the track in the front is a good thing for the car anyway.

Yes pulling the front wheels in does look bad ***!
Do you need to buy a certain spindle or brake setup for this?
