While offset axles do shorten the wheelbase by 3.5mm, that is not the point of their use in tuning.

Offset axles locate the axle behind the kingpin to change the way a car turns, and have a profound effect on handling and added stability.

One can expect mid corner, to corner exit under-steer with this option.
