It won't mess it up. It will just put alil more stress on the spindles and bearings i believe. and u will have more bumpsteer

slight chance of breaking your lugs, but other than that, just the piss poor handling.

Is this hard to reverse? I mean the guy that I bought my R off of did this the right way if there is a such thing. He took the tires off drilled new holes for the stem plugged the other holes for the stem then had the tires mounted again. Well now i put wider arms on it and dont need the offset wheels. Do I just need to to reverse the stem and plugs then have the tires remounted or is there more to this?

because you have to make a new hole for the valve stem. i wouldnt ride it anymore without doing that
