Can't see why fitting spacers would affect the tracking, provided they are manufactured to a good standard.

I would, however, make sure that the wheel bearings are in good condition as the extra stress put on them can be quite destructive.

i concure with this as your wheels now sit out further the stress on them is almost doubled

I would suggest you adjust the toe-out to it's minimum (which IIRC is zero) because of the increased scrub radius.
