For MOST people, too wide a stance limits depth and thus the chance for any impingment. However, if you rotate the hips out wide enough, in a manner in which nature never really intended the hip to flex and extend very much if at all, I can see it potentially causing problems if you force yourself deep enough.
So why not just take a correct stance?
