Only advantage is that they improve the stance of the car by filling out the arches. They are actually detrimental to the handling as they move the wheel away from its designed suspension geometry. But on the road you wouldnt really notice. I have run with 3mm, 15mm, 20mm and different offsets of wheels on my ST with no real detrimental effects that I could feel. And as Nathan has pointed out they do put more stress on wheel bearings etc.
