They are marketing these arms specifically so guys can run "deep dish" wheels for looks... and not mentioning they increase both lateral scrub and scrub radius as a result of the reduced track width and corresponding increase in offset of the wheels. That's bad.
It's a hot rod "look good" part being coyly marketed as a performance part. It's not.
If you want to run wide wheels up front about the only thing I can think of is make custom CA's that maintain (or increase) track width but are "narrower" in a top-down view so the wide wheel can swing through the steering arc without the wheel contacting the control arms at the extremes of steering throw.
