Yeah that's all I've been able to gather which is what lead me to start this thread. However I would assume that with a greater negative offset (wider track width), the you end up with a larger turning radius due to the increase in toe-out angles. In other words, there's gotta be more than steering effort that's affected.

No, the Ackerman angle is what creates the Ackerman
effect. The angle is an imaginary V that extends from the steering arms, to the center point of the rear axle. This is suspension geometry hence Ackerman
angle. This angle causes the resulting toe out on turns, hence Ackerman
effect 
Ackerman effect and toe-out are the same thing.

Those spacers were merely an example. The ones I had planned on getting did indeed have extended wheel studs (H&R).
In any case, thanks for your help... have some chocobees:
