Why doesn't anyone run early offset wheels on late cars?

I just threw some (one front and one rear) early offset phonedials on my '88 summer car while it's sitting in my shop and there is clearance of the fenders both front and rear. I'm running a decent amount of negative camber but nothing compared to a dedicated track car (the specs are at my house right now so I'm not sure but front is between 1.5 and 2 degrees) and it fills out the fenders real nice. ALso there's the benefit of the 6cm wider of a track front and rear. I know my hoosiers stick out to the fender lips on late offsets (due to hoosiers crazy way of making tires) so I will keep those for my race tires but can anyone give me a good reason not to run early offset wheels for my summer wheels next year? It looks much better....
