Narrowed IRS Arms affect on handling

How will narrowing the Irs arms affect the handling of the car? At the very least it should affect how fast the rear tires have camber changes. Right? I wanna narrow the IRS for wider tires on my ghia and I wanna make sure that narrowing the arms isnt gonna hurt in the long run.

Im not sure about the camber changes, but if you narrow your arms but still keep the track width the same thru the use of wider rims & tires then I dont see how you would have a negative effect on handling. If anything, you should have a positive effect because of the larger contact patch of the tires.
