Not only that but the wheel bearing housing is actually taking the load of the front wheel. In your case, the wheel is farther out, there is less load bearing area, the lug bolts are taking more load, the zero offset front suspension is no longer a zero offset front suspension and it's a really bad idea to just add small spacers. Better to get a proper spacer plate or the correct rims.

Failure could be disasterous.
