I narrowed beam will only cause a loss of steering if the offset and the width of the wheels doesnt make up for the narrowing of the beam.

When people narrow their beams alot (more then 3") and then use stock width wheels (4.5") thats when it effects steering. When you narrow your beam 2" to 3" and then use 7" wide wheels you should end up with about the same widht track as stock.

When you dont narrow your beam and you use wide wheels, you end up making the track wider, which in turns makes your turning radius larger and makes it more difficult to steer the car, especially from a starting position.
