wheel offset to width help please

i currently have 6x13" compomotive cxrs on the fury. fronts are et18 rears are et4
i understand the offset difference but;
what would happen to handling if i put 7"x13" wheels allround with et6 offset with hillclimb slicks?
front track would be wider than usual so would this have a negative effect on turn in?

im not familiar with fury geometry, but it should affect scrub radius with thre essentially further from kingpin axis, but some single seaters run excessive ackermann to scrub the fronts more than is necessary to artifically build heat as often on hillclimbs you ae near lock limits on tighter bends. They also setup for a front wheel to lift off the deck in tight corners for same reason, so whilst increased scrubradius may be an issue on road cars, for sprints hills its not always a bad thing
