If you notice one iota of handling difference from reasonably sized spacers, it's the placebo effect.

I used to race RC cars where we would tune the cars extensively before every race to suit the tracks. Wider track width did make the car twitchy, and in some cases ended up in over steering. But of course if the car wasn't responsive enough during turns, that's one way to do it.

That's not the case here. Spacers are a visual mod, not a performance mod.
