never run spacers on the front!!! research scrub radius. but to each their own. the 32 will be ok in the dunes. for the added power the 28's bring i'd take them.
i found if i left the car in auto sport mode it shifted way better than i could in the dunes. can always down or up shift manually with the paddles if you want.
nice looking machine.

Will it hurt the car or just be bad for handling?

Contrary to popular belief, spacers on the front will make any rubbing WORSE, not better. It will also F up the scrub radius and make it steer funny and jerk the wheel out of your hand when you hit larger obstacles.

Stick with as close to the stock offset (+50mm) you can up front then run the same wheel in the rear with 1.5" spacers to even it up.

i've seen them bend steering components, wear wheel bearings out prematurely. the added leverage it has on the front end components is not a good thing. i would never run more than a 5:2 offset wheell on the front after that like a 4:3 the scrub radius is crazy bad. these dont have adjustable control arms to help alleviate that.
