The axle is one piece of metal so the more positive space you take on one side turns into negative space on the other, so the left crank might try to get inside your Bottom Bracket shell. Also, as it is a cartridge BB, the cup will have trouble going all the way in the other side and might not hold the cartridge properly. Obviously you probably want another BB with the correct length alex to keep everything in the right place.
