Increasing the scrub radius that much, specially at the front will not make it handle any worse. it will actually result in really good grip especially in the wet, but, make it tramline like a bitch and this you might not like too much.
Also it will get "squirelly" under brakes and also under hard power. Kinda torque steer in reverse under brakes. Lock a front brake and it will pull the wheel hard in your hands. Not ready for it could see you getting out of shape.
Torque steer under power will increase to buggery as well.
Youll have to "take the bull by the horns" as it were and wrestle it if you push it hard.
Being aware of this will be most of the battle!
Id prolly expect increased bearing wear and tear as well.
Looks mad tho!!!

Tramlining is when the road surface affects the direction of your front wheels.
Any car tends to do it a bit when you drive on tram lines.
It's a bit disconcerting...
With a massive scrub radius like that, any difference in traction between your front wheels will prolly translate to the steering wheel wanting to jump out of your hands.
You might be able to tame it a bit with a phantom grip or something...

Tramlining is where the tyres begin to straddle different road surfaces, like where the road has been patched or were the lanes are sealed and there is a join there and the car will ride up, pull quite violently towards the other side and then tend to want to pull violently back to where it came from.
The wheels feel a bit like they are sort of stuck there in a groove kinda thing.
As if the tyres were caught on a tramline, hence the term.
It can range from mild twiching in the steering wheel to a fairly sharp tug and the car simply cannot be held straight.
More a fucken annoyance than much else.

That'll look great! Those tires must get quite a bit stretched, me thinks.
